single bet calculator

OK — been using this thing for maybe four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I'd say something since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context. How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an e/w return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I'd eyeball it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles. The single bet calculator is the one I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get the return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it's here patent bet and there's no login wall, which I appreciated. What actually shifted things for me was the geekier tools. The odds-to-probability converter which shows you what margin's baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I'm spreading across selections. Not all sunshine though. Its design looks pretty plain — no polish, it's clearly function over form. On mobile it works though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it's a website and that's it — fine by me but you asked. Right, that's me. Doesn't cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
