Right — been using this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could work out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]yankee accumulator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually changed how I bet is the nerdier extras. There’s an probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The design looks a bit basic — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting formula[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually changed how I bet was the more serious tools. The implied probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
