OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never work out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]odds accumulator calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely made a difference is the nerdier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is a bit basic — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
