single bet calculator
OK — been using this thing for maybe five months now and it's stuck on my phone, so figured I'd say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I'm in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn't ever work out what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. I'd just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I'm on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get returns instantly, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it's over at bet calculator lucky 15 — free, no signup.
One thing that actually made a difference is the geekier tools. The implied probability converter which shows you the overround, and there's the kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too when I'm covering two or three runners.
It's not perfect mind. Its layout looks pretty plain — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it's fine though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there's nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn't bother me but worth saying.
Right, that's me. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, try it — it's saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at rasecurities kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.

Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at bantonwoodson pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.
