Right — been on this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an each way payout would be when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows the return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]how to work out an each way bet[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually changed how I bet were the more serious bits. There’s an implied probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks a bit basic — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/implied-probability]betting odds to probability[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely made a difference was the geekier bits. There’s an implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The design is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
