single bet calculator

Right — been on this thing for about five months now and it's stuck on my phone, reckon I'd say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I'm coming from. What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I could never figure out what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I'd wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet. Their single bet calculator tool is the part I'm on daily — you put in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that's where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it's over at calculate lucky 15 bet and there's no login wall, which I appreciated. The thing that genuinely made a difference is the geekier extras. There's an odds-to-probability converter 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 decent for when I'm splitting a race. Couple of gripes. Its layout looks a bit basic — zero frills, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On mobile it's usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There's no proper app, it's browser only — fine by me but you asked. Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you even now adds it up in their head, try it — it's saved me plenty of dumb bets I'd have regretted.
