Right — been using this thing for maybe four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I'd write something up since someone asked me the other day. I'm UK based, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I'm coming from.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I'd just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that's where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it's here back and lay calculator and it's free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely made a difference is the geekier bits. There's an implied probability converter which shows you how much the bookie's taking, and there's the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent for when I'm splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks very functional, let's say — zero polish, it's clearly function over form. Phone-wise it's usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no app, it's a website and that's it — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that's me. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, have a look — it's saved me a load of "wait, that's it?" moments. |
