Right — been on this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in stake and odds and it spits out the return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely shifted things for me were the geekier tools. The odds-to-probability converter which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout feels pretty plain — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been using this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — type in the price and your stake and it shows the return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]free super heinz bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely made a difference were the nerdier tools. The odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels very functional, let’s say — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
