Right — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds convertor[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely made a difference was the geekier tools. The odds-to-probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. 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 dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been on this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I never could work out what an ew payout would be when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how to calculate a lucky 15[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the more serious extras. There’s an implied probability calculator that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface feels a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine though the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
