OK — been using this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]калькулятора лаки 63[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the nerdier tools. The odds-to-probability converter that shows the overround, and a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface is pretty plain — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine though the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]how to work out accumulator odds[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually made a difference is the nerdier tools. There’s an probability thing which shows you the overround, and a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels a bit basic — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
