OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I'd say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I'd just wing it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I'm on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. There's also the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that's where I'd always lose track. Have a go yourself, it's here dutch calculator — free, no signup.
What actually made a difference is the nerdier extras. They've got an implied probability converter that shows how much the bookie's taking, plus a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I'm splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels pretty plain — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it's usable but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there's nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a load of dumb bets I'd have regretted. |
