OK — been using this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/dutch]calculator dutching[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
Right — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]working out lucky 15[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really changed how I bet is the more serious bits. There’s an probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout feels a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
