single bet calculator

Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.

What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never work out what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator is the one I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]odds matching[/url] — free, no signup.

One thing that really shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I’m splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. The design feels pretty plain — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.

Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
