Right — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]fractional kelly calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually shifted things for me is the geekier bits. There’s an implied probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The interface looks very functional, let’s say — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If you even now adds it up in their head, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at maverotrustline did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.
Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at ThirtyMale reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.
Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at OldSchoolOpen similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never figure out what an each way return actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and you get returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at matched betting odds and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually changed how I bet is the geekier extras. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks a bit basic — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
