Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/treble]treble odds calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually made a difference were the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is pretty plain — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
