Right — been on this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and you get returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/treble]treble bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really shifted things for me were the nerdier bits. There’s an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works though the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
