single bet calculator

Right — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it's stuck on my phone, so figured I'd write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I'm coming from. The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn't ever work out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I'd eyeball it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles. Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows returns with no faffing, either odds format. There's also the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it's over at treble accumulator and there's no login wall, which I appreciated. One thing that actually made a difference were the more serious extras. They've got an implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie's taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent when I'm covering two or three runners. Couple of gripes. The interface feels pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don't mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There's nothing on the app store, it's a website and that's it — slight shame but worth saying. Anyway. Doesn't cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you even now adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a fair few "wait, that's it?" moments.
