OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I never could figure out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 free bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually changed how I bet is the nerdier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design is pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. 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 plenty of arguments with the bookie.
