So — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]single bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really changed how I bet was the nerdier extras. They’ve got an implied probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is very functional, let’s say — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine though the acca grid are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
OK — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an ew payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out the return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]exchange bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the geekier tools. The probability converter which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks pretty plain — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, try it — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
