OK — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an ew payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]oddsmatcher calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really shifted things for me was the geekier extras. There’s an probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout feels pretty plain — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
