single bet calculator

OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I'd say something since a mate asked me the other day. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like. How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could figure out what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I'd eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt. Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return straight away, fractions or decimals. There's also the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that's where I always lose track. If you want a look, it lives at dutching lay calculator and it's free with no account nonsense. The thing that actually shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. They've got an implied probability calculator which shows you the overround, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is handy too if I'm splitting a race. It's not perfect mind. Its design is pretty plain — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it's fine although the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it. Right, that's me. Doesn't cost anything, barely any ads, works. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it's saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
