OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I never could work out what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]bet exchange calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really made a difference was the nerdier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
