single bet calculator

So — been on this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.

How I found it was actually embarrassing — I could never work out what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.

The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly strategy calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

What really changed how I bet were the more serious tools. They’ve got an probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.

Couple of gripes. The interface feels a bit basic — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
