So — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could work out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — type in the price and your stake and you get returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]vig calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really made a difference is the geekier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface feels pretty plain — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
