So — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I never could work out what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/treble]what is a treble bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The design looks pretty plain — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
