So — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]calculate each way bet[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually made a difference was the geekier bits. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels pretty plain — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a fair few « wait, that’s it? » moments.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com]bet calculator uk[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually shifted things for me is the more serious bits. There’s an probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels a bit basic — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could figure out what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in stake and odds and it spits out returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]vig calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually shifted things for me is the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The layout is very functional, let’s say — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, try it — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
