Right — been on this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an e/w payout would be when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]back and lay calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually shifted things for me were the more serious tools. There’s an probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
