Right — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]how to calculate each way bet[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really made a difference was the nerdier bits. The implied probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout feels pretty plain — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
