So — been using this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. I’m UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never work out what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]match bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really made a difference is the geekier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability thing that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks pretty plain — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
So — been on this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]calculate yankee bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really changed how I bet were the geekier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface feels pretty plain — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the acca grid are a squeeze. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
