So — been using this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could figure out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]vig calc[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really made a difference is the nerdier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, try it — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
