So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never figure out what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]super yankee calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really made a difference was the nerdier extras. There’s an implied probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I could never work out what an each way payout would be when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]betting accumulator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really made a difference is the geekier bits. They’ve got an implied probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The design looks pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
