OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]accumulator odds checker[/url] — free, no signup.
What really made a difference were the more serious extras. They’ve got an probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface is a bit basic — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If you honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
So — been on this thing for about a few 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. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew payout actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it shows returns straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]coral bet calculator lucky 15[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really changed how I bet were the nerdier tools. There’s an probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design looks pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
