OK — been on this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you put in the price and your stake and you get the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]ew odds calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious bits. There’s an probability converter which shows you the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
