Right — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could work out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com]single betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely changed how I bet is the more serious tools. The odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The design looks pretty plain — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out returns instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/implied-probability]how to calculate implied probability with decimal odds[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really shifted things for me was the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The design looks a bit basic — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone still adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
