Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at justvotenoon2 took me even further into the site, the kind of organic exploration that good content invites is something most sites kill through aggressive interlinking and pushy navigation choices rather than relying on quality.

Bookmark earned, calendar reminder set, share queued, all from one good post, and a look at korivotrust did the same, when a single reading session triggers multiple downstream actions you know the content has actually moved me beyond the page and this site is moving me at that higher level reliably.

OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.

What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never work out what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.

Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s here heinz calculator and it’s free with no account nonsense.

One thing that actually changed how I bet is the nerdier tools. There’s an probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. Its interface looks very functional, let’s say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at suzgilliessmith only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.
