OK — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]how to calculate each way bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really shifted things for me was the nerdier bits. There’s an implied probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks a bit basic — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
