So — been using this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — type in stake and odds and it spits out the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]each way single bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually made a difference is the geekier extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface looks a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
