OK — been using this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w payout would be when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied odds[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really changed how I bet were the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it spits out returns instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]vig calculator decimal[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really shifted things for me is the more serious bits. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is a bit basic — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine although the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
