single bet calculator

So — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.

How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I never could figure out what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.

Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/treble]treble bet[/url] — free, no signup.

The thing that actually made a difference was the more serious bits. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. Its design looks a bit basic — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works although the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
