single bet calculator

OK — been on this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I'd chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I'm coming from. How I found it was actually a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I'd guess and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles. The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it's here calculate vig and it's free with no account nonsense. What really shifted things for me is the more serious bits. There's an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie's taking, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent if I'm splitting a race. It's not perfect mind. The interface is a bit basic — not much polish, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On mobile it's usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there's no proper app, it's browser only — slight shame but worth saying. So yeah. Doesn't cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — it's saved me a fair few dumb bets I'd have regretted.
