So — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 betting calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design 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 are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in your stake, the odds and you get returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]trixie free bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely made a difference was the nerdier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its layout looks pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
