So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]quarter kelly calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually shifted things for me were the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
