Right — been on this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability betting odds[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually shifted things for me is the geekier bits. There’s an probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface feels a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I never could work out what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows the return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky 15 calc[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually changed how I bet is the more serious tools. They’ve got an implied probability thing that shows the overround, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its layout looks a bit basic — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
