Right — been using this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never work out what an each way return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky 15 ew calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really changed how I bet was the geekier bits. The implied probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface feels pretty plain — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
