So — been on this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an ew payout would be when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/yankee]super yankee calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually made a difference was the more serious tools. There’s an probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels very functional, let’s say — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get the return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]irish lotto trixie bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really shifted things for me were the geekier tools. They’ve got an probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout is pretty plain — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable but the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
