OK — been using this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]calculate lucky 63[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely changed how I bet were the nerdier tools. There’s an probability converter that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout is a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If you honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
