OK — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/treble]ew treble calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually changed how I bet was the geekier tools. The odds-to-probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels pretty plain — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
Right — been on this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion excel formula[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The interface feels pretty plain — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
