Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I'd chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I could never work out what an each way return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I'd just guess and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that's where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it's here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]no vig fair odds calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually made a difference was the more serious tools. There's an implied probability thing that shows what margin's baked in, and there's the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I'm spreading across selections.
It's not perfect mind. Its layout looks pretty plain — zero polish, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On mobile it's fine though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there's no proper app, it's browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that's me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me plenty of dumb bets I'd have regretted.
So — been using this thing for about five months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I'd say something since someone asked me a few days back. I'm based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could work out what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I'd eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I'm on daily — type in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. There's also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that's where I'd always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it's over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely shifted things for me were the geekier extras. The probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie's taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I'm covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design is a bit basic — not much frills, it's clearly function over form. On my phone it's usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there's no proper app, it's a website and that's it — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn't cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me plenty of "wait, that's it?" moments.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and it's stuck on my phone, so thought I'd say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I'm coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could figure out what an e/w payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that's where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it's over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how to calculate a lucky 15[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really shifted things for me is the geekier extras. There's an odds-to-probability converter which shows you the overround, and a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent when I'm covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design is a bit basic — zero frills, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On mobile it works although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it's a website and that's it — doesn't bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a load of dumb bets I'd have regretted.
Right — been on this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I'd say something since a mate asked me the other day. I'm based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I'm coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I never could work out what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I'd guess and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, honestly that's where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]free lucky 15 bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely made a difference were the more serious tools. The odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious what margin's baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I'm spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface is pretty plain — no polish, it's clearly function over form. On mobile it's usable but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There's no app, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a load of dumb bets I'd have regretted.

What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I never could work out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter.

The thing that actually changed how I bet were the nerdier extras. The implied probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie's taking, plus a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too if I'm spreading across selections.

So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — saved me plenty of "wait, that's it?" moments.
