OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return actually came to 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 every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows the return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]trixie bet[/url] — free, no signup.
What really shifted things for me were the more serious bits. The implied probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface looks a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, try it — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly betting calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the geekier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The design looks pretty plain — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works but the acca grid are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
