OK — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/patent]permed patent bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really made a difference were the more serious tools. The implied probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface is a bit basic — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
