single bet calculator
OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it's stuck on my phone, reckon I'd chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I could never figure out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I'd just wing it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at <a href=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/yankee>yankee bet</a> and it's free with no account nonsense.
What really made a difference were the more serious extras. They've got an probability thing that shows what margin's baked in, and there's the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent for when I'm splitting a race.
It's not perfect mind. Its design feels a bit basic — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it's usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there's nothing on the app store, it's browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn't cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, try it — saves me plenty of dumb bets I'd have regretted.
