“ Right — been on this thing for maybe five 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, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn't ever get my head round what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get returns with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that's where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk]single bet[/url] and it's free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually made a difference is the geekier tools. There's an probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie's taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I'm covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The design looks pretty plain — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it's usable though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no app, it's browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that's me. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — it's saved me a load of arguments with the bookie. ”
