OK — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]ew trixie[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely made a difference is the geekier tools. They’ve got an probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks pretty plain — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
