single bet calculator

OK — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I'd write something up since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like. What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could work out what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I'd just guess and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt. The single bet calculator is the one I'm on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that's where I'd always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at sports betting vig calculator and there's no login wall, which I appreciated. The thing that genuinely made a difference was the nerdier tools. There's an implied probability converter that shows the overround, and there's the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I'm covering two or three runners. Couple of gripes. The layout feels pretty plain — not much flash, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On mobile it's fine although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it's a website and that's it — fine by me but worth saying. Right, that's me. Doesn't cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still adds it up in their head, try it — it's saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
