Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and you get returns with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really changed how I bet were the nerdier extras. They’ve got an implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable but the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an each way return actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]trixie bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely changed how I bet is the geekier extras. There’s an probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout feels a bit basic — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
