Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows the return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]acca bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really changed how I bet is the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, works. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
So — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could work out what an e/w payout actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]each way betting calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually made a difference were the more serious tools. They’ve got an probability converter that shows the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels a bit basic — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
