single bet calculator

Right — been on this thing for maybe five months now and it's stuck on my phone, reckon I'd write something up since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context. What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn't ever get my head round what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet. The single bet calculator tool is the bit I'm on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, either odds format. There's also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it's over at exchange betting calculator and it's free with no account nonsense. What really made a difference is the more serious tools. They've got an probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie's taking, and there's the kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too if I'm spreading across selections. Couple of gripes. Its design is a bit basic — no flash, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On mobile it works although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there's nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but worth saying. Right, that's me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
