Right — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]online matched betting calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually changed how I bet is the geekier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The interface looks pretty plain — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone honestly 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 something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]each way bet calc[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really changed how I bet was the more serious bits. There’s an probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels pretty plain — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you even now adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
