OK — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could work out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/dutch]betting dutching calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually made a difference were the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability thing that shows the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks very functional, let’s say — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now 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 put in stake and odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/double]each way double calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually shifted things for me was the more serious extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout is pretty plain — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
