OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting formula[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually shifted things for me is the more serious bits. There’s an odds-to-probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The layout is a bit basic — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If you still adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
