So — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — you drop in stake and odds and you get returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/treble]trebles bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually changed how I bet is the nerdier extras. They’ve got an probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its design feels a bit basic — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
