OK — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in stake and odds and you get profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at work out patent bet and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually made a difference was the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The interface feels pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been using this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I never could 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 I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s here each way trixie and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually changed how I bet were the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability thing that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface is a bit basic — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
OK — been on this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I never could figure out what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in stake and odds and it shows returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at how to do matched betting uk and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely made a difference were the nerdier extras. There’s an implied probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The interface looks very functional, let’s say — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, works. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
