single bet calculator

OK — been on this thing for something like four months now and it's stuck on my phone, so thought I'd say something since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like. What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could work out what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt. The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that's where I always lose track. If you want a look, it's over at odds calculator matched betting and there's no login wall, which I appreciated. One thing that genuinely made a difference was the more serious tools. The probability thing which shows you how much the bookie's taking, and a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent for when I'm splitting a race. Not all sunshine though. The design feels a bit basic — zero frills, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On my phone it's usable though the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no proper app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it. So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
