OK — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]49s yankee bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely shifted things for me was the nerdier bits. There’s an probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels pretty plain — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, works. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — been on this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I never could figure out what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it shows the return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/betting-margin]betting overround calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really shifted things for me were the more serious tools. They’ve got an implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels pretty plain — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
