Right — been using this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you drop in stake and odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds converter betting[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually changed how I bet is the nerdier extras. There’s an probability thing that shows the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design looks a bit basic — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine but 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 but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
Right — been on this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, 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 ew payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in stake and odds and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]calculator matched betting[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really shifted things for me was the geekier extras. There’s an implied probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface feels very functional, let’s say — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
