So — been on this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it shows the return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/treble]betting trebles[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really made a difference is the geekier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is a bit basic — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
