Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I could never figure out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion odds calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely made a difference is the geekier extras. The implied probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface feels very functional, let’s say — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
