Right — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]union jack trixie calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually changed how I bet was the more serious bits. There’s an implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The interface is a bit basic — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works although the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
