Right — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in stake and odds and it spits out the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]work out each way bet[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually made a difference was the geekier tools. They’ve got an probability converter that shows the overround, plus a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The design looks very functional, let’s say — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
