So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in stake and odds and you get returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]what is a single bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really made a difference were the geekier tools. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been using this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never work out what an each way payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting automatcher[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the more serious extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never work out what an each way payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and you get the return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 quotenrechner[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The design feels pretty plain — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
