OK — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew return actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in stake and odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting blog calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really shifted things for me was the geekier bits. They’ve got an probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface is a bit basic — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
