Right — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an each way return would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier extras. The implied probability thing 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 dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks pretty plain — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
Right — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew payout would be when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how many bets in a lucky 15[/url] — free, no signup.
What really shifted things for me is the nerdier tools. The odds-to-probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The design feels pretty plain — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works but the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
