Right — been using this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]betting odds converter[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really made a difference was the nerdier tools. They’ve got an probability converter which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout feels pretty plain — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
So — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an ew return actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 bet365[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the nerdier bits. The probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is pretty plain — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, works. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
