Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I could never work out what an e/w payout actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you put in stake and odds and you get returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/dutch]dutch calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really made a difference is the nerdier extras. There’s an implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The layout is pretty plain — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable although the acca grid are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]vig calc[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually shifted things for me were the nerdier tools. The odds-to-probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface feels pretty plain — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
