Right — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w payout would be when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]how many bets in a lucky 63[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually changed how I bet is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is pretty plain — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
