Right — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows returns with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how to work out a lucky 15 bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really made a difference was the more serious tools. The probability converter which shows you the overround, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks very functional, let’s say — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been using this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I could never figure out what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in stake and odds and it spits out the return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]exchange betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely changed how I bet was the nerdier bits. The odds-to-probability converter that shows the overround, and a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface is very functional, let’s say — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
