So — been using this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, 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 spits out profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/betting-margin]odds margin calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the geekier extras. They’ve got an implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
