So — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]what is a trixie bet?[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually made a difference were the geekier bits. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface looks pretty plain — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
