So — been on this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I never could work out what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it shows returns instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]heinz bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely made a difference were the nerdier tools. There’s an probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The design looks very functional, let’s say — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
So — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I could never work out what an each way return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it shows the return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]odds calculator matched betting[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely made a difference was the nerdier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its design feels pretty plain — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
