OK — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you put in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]bet irish lotto trixie[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually shifted things for me was the nerdier tools. The odds-to-probability thing that shows the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]bet calculator lucky 63[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really shifted things for me is the geekier extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking tool — 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.
Couple of gripes. The interface is a bit basic — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone still does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
