So — been on this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/betting-margin]odds margin calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually made a difference were the more serious bits. They’ve got an probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The interface is very functional, let’s say — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If you honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/dutch]free dutching calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually made a difference was the geekier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. 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 works but the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you even now does the maths on paper, try it — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
