Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 quotenrechner[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely made a difference were the more serious bits. There’s an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks a bit basic — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone still does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I could never figure out what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and you get returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/treble]treble bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really made a difference were the geekier bits. The implied probability converter that shows the overround, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The interface looks a bit basic — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable though the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been on this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]no vig fair odds calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually made a difference were the more serious extras. There’s an probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The interface looks pretty plain — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you even now does the maths on paper, try it — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
Right — been on this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could figure out what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz betting[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually shifted things for me was the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface is pretty plain — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
