So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz with singles bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What really changed how I bet is the more serious extras. The probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface looks very functional, let’s say — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works but the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone still adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could figure out what an ew payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in the price and your stake and you get the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky fifteen bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really shifted things for me were the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is a bit basic — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
