Right — been on this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never figure out what an each way return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting calculator excel[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually changed how I bet were the geekier bits. They’ve got an probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface feels a bit basic — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone still does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
