OK — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I could never work out what an each way return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in stake and odds and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/dutch]calculator dutching[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely made a difference were the geekier bits. The probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels pretty plain — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
