So — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — type in the price and your stake and you get the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/implied-probability]betting probability[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually made a difference is the more serious tools. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface looks pretty plain — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
