Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out returns with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 betmentor calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually shifted things for me was the geekier tools. There’s an probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The design is very functional, let’s say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
So — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I could never figure 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 type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly strategy calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really changed how I bet is the more serious bits. There’s an implied probability calculator which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is pretty plain — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out the return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really shifted things for me were the more serious bits. They’ve got an probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, try it — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
