single bet calculator

OK — been on this thing for about five months now and it's stuck on my phone, so thought I'd say something since someone asked me a few days back. I'm in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I'm coming from. What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn't ever figure out what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles. Their single bet calculator is the one I'm on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that's where I'd always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it's here heinz calculator and it's free with no account nonsense. One thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the nerdier tools. There's an implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie's taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is decent if I'm splitting a race. It's not perfect mind. The design is very functional, let's say — no frills, it's clearly function over form. On mobile it's fine although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There's no app, just the site — doesn't bother me but worth saying. So yeah. Doesn't cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
