OK — been using this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am UK based, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]how to calculate implied probability[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the more serious extras. There’s an probability calculator which shows you the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The interface is a bit basic — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
So — been on this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could work out what an ew payout actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put 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, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/yankee]irish lottery yankee bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely made a difference was the more serious bits. The odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout is very functional, let’s say — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
