Right — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]free yankee bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually shifted things for me was the nerdier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks a bit basic — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
