single bet calculator

OK — been using this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I'd write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. I'm based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I'm coming from. The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn't ever figure out what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I'd wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles. The single bet calculator is the bit I'm on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. There's also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I always lose track. If you want a look, it lives at lucky 15 calculator free and there's no login wall, which I appreciated. What actually changed how I bet were the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator that shows how much the bookie's taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I'm covering two or three runners. It's not perfect mind. Its interface is very functional, let's say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there's no app, it's a website and that's it — fine by me just flagging it. Anyway. Doesn't cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone still adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
