Right — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky63 calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually shifted things for me were the geekier extras. The implied probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine but the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
