OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in the price and your stake and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]irish lotto trixie bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels pretty plain — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
Right — been using this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how to work out a lucky 15[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually made a difference is the geekier extras. The implied probability calculator which shows you the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
