OK — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — type in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/treble]treble accumulator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really made a difference was the nerdier extras. There’s an probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design feels a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
