OK — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/double]double bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually made a difference was the nerdier tools. There’s an probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks a bit basic — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
OK — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you put in stake and odds and it shows the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/dutch]betting dutching calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually made a difference is the more serious bits. The odds-to-probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels very functional, let’s say — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
