Right — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability sports betting[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really made a difference was the nerdier tools. The implied probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design is a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an ew return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in stake and odds and you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds converter sports betting[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the geekier bits. The probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is pretty plain — 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 make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
