Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never work out what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — type in stake and odds and it spits out the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]bet exchange calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the nerdier tools. They’ve got an probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels a bit basic — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
