Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at zylavocapital extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.
So — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could work out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds converter[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely made a difference were the nerdier tools. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you the overround, and a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels a bit basic — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to almostfashionablemovie confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.
Adding this to my list of go to references for the topic, and a stop at nolarobond confirmed the rest of the site deserves the same, definitely the kind of resource that earns its place rather than getting forgotten the moment the next interesting article shows up in my feed somewhere else on the web.
