single bet calculator

So — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it's stuck on my phone, so thought I'd say something since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.

What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I'd just wing it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator tool is the bit I'm on daily — type in stake and odds and it shows returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it's over at lucky 63 betmentor calculator — free, no signup.

One thing that actually changed how I bet was the nerdier bits. They've got an implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie's taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I'm splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. The layout looks very functional, let's say — no frills, it's clearly function over form. On my phone it's usable although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There's nothing on the app store, it's a website and that's it — slight shame but you asked.

Right, that's me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it's saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
