Right — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could work out what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in stake and odds and it shows returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/yankee]yankee bet return calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely made a difference is the more serious bits. They’ve got an implied probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The design feels pretty plain — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
