So — been using this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never work out what an each way return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/double]each way double calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually shifted things for me was the nerdier tools. There’s an probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The layout is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
Right — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never work out what an each way return would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]bet lay calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really shifted things for me was the more serious bits. The probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks pretty plain — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
