Right — been using this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]vig calculator decimal[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually shifted things for me was the nerdier bits. The odds-to-probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
