Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at banehmagic extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.
Right — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in your stake, the odds and you get returns with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at free bet calculator lucky 15 and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really made a difference were the nerdier tools. There’s an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface looks a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine though the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at zz-meta produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.
Right — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here single bet calculator — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely made a difference was the nerdier bits. There’s an probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The design is a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If you even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Walked away in a slightly better mood than when I started reading, that says something about the writing, and a stop at cavaroline kept that going, content that leaves you feeling more capable rather than overwhelmed is the kind I keep coming back to again and again over the years and across many topics.
