single bet calculator

Right — been using this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I'd write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I'm based in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context. How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w payout actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I'd eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I 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 you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at matched betting risk free bet calculator and it's free with no account nonsense. The thing that actually changed how I bet were the nerdier bits. They've got an probability thing that shows the overround, and there's the kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too when I'm spreading across selections. Couple of gripes. Its interface looks a bit basic — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it's fine though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there's no app, it's browser only — doesn't bother me but worth saying. So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it's saved me plenty of "wait, that's it?" moments.
