OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]work out lucky 63[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really changed how I bet is the geekier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing which shows you the overround, and a kelly tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for about six 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. I’m UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface feels a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And no app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
