OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and you get the return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com]bet calculator single[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually made a difference is the geekier bits. They’ve got an probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels very functional, let’s say — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
