OK — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and you get the return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]bet and lay calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely made a difference is the more serious extras. There’s an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface is pretty plain — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the acca grid are a squeeze. And no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If you honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
