Right — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]ew trixie[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually changed how I bet were the geekier tools. They’ve got an probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is a bit basic — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
