Right — been using this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability betting odds[/url] — free, no signup.
What really changed how I bet was the nerdier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The design is a bit basic — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, works. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
OK — been on this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could work out what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/dutch]each way dutching calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the more serious bits. There’s an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine but the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]betfred lucky 63 calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually changed how I bet were the geekier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface feels a bit basic — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
So — been using this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting odds calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really changed how I bet was the nerdier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability thing that shows the overround, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The interface feels pretty plain — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a fair few « wait, that’s it? » moments.
