So — been using this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly 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/lucky-63]lucky 63 calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually shifted things for me was the nerdier extras. The probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The design is a bit basic — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine although the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something 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.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in stake and odds and you get returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly 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]betting return calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually changed how I bet were the geekier bits. They’ve got an probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
