OK — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could figure out what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/yankee]49s yankee bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really made a difference is the geekier bits. They’ve got an probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design is pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
OK — been on this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an e/w payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]free bet lay calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the geekier extras. The implied probability converter that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface is very functional, let’s say — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If you still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
