So — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am in the UK, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out the return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]fractional kelly calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. The implied probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout feels pretty plain — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, try it — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it shows the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting calculators[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually shifted things for me was the more serious bits. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator that shows the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is a bit basic — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you still does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
