single bet calculator

So — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I'd say something since someone asked me the other day. I'm based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I'm coming from.

How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an each way return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I'd just wing it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.

The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that's where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it's over at bet calculator patent — free, no signup.

One thing that really made a difference is the more serious bits. There's an implied probability calculator which shows you the overround, and there's the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I'm spreading across selections.

Couple of gripes. Its interface feels very functional, let's say — not much frills, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On mobile it's fine but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there's nothing on the app store, it's browser only — doesn't bother me but you asked.

Right, that's me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of "wait, that's it?" moments.
