Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]ace odds lucky 63[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the geekier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks a bit basic — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
