Right — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really changed how I bet was the more serious extras. The probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in stake and odds and it spits out returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]each way accumulator calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the nerdier extras. The odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
