OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you put in the price and your stake and you get the return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]ew odds calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really made a difference was the nerdier tools. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
