Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could figure out what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]ew lucky 15 calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface is a bit basic — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
