OK — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]oddsmatcher calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually made a difference is the nerdier bits. There’s an probability converter that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout is a bit basic — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
OK — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never work out what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]doubles accumulator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely made a difference is the nerdier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels a bit basic — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
So — been on this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 quotenrechner[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually shifted things for me were the more serious bits. There’s an odds-to-probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
