single bet calculator

OK — been using this thing for about six months now and it's stuck on my phone, so figured I'd write something up since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like. What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never figure out what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I'd just guess and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt. Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that's where I'd always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at matched betting profit calculator — free, no signup. The thing that actually shifted things for me was the nerdier extras. There's an probability converter which shows you what margin's baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I'm splitting a race. Not all sunshine though. The interface looks pretty plain — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn't bother me just flagging it. So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me plenty of dumb bets I'd have regretted.
