So — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting automatcher[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really made a difference were the nerdier tools. They’ve got an probability thing that shows the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout feels pretty plain — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been on this thing for about 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 last week. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get returns straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how to calculate a lucky 15[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really shifted things for me were the nerdier extras. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface feels very functional, let’s say — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works though the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
