OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it's stuck on my phone, so thought I'd chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I'm based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn't ever work out what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I'd just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I'm on daily — type in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it's here oddsmatcher calculator free and there's no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually shifted things for me is the geekier extras. They've got an implied probability converter which shows you how much the bookie's taking, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too if I'm covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface is very functional, let's say — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it's usable though the acca grid are a squeeze. And no proper app, it's a website and that's it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me plenty of "wait, that's it?" moments. |
