OK — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns straight away, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/yankee]yankee odds calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the more serious tools. There’s an implied probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The design looks very functional, let’s say — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine though the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really shifted things for me were the geekier tools. The implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The design looks pretty plain — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable but the acca grid are a squeeze. And no app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an each way return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in stake and odds and it shows returns with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz bet365[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually shifted things for me were the nerdier extras. They’ve got an probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The design looks very functional, let’s say — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a fair few « wait, that’s it? » moments.
