Lightbulb Does anyone really use Ganch's calculators?

If so, which are in your regular lineup, or do you only use them when you're unsure of something related with #'s?

Yes, mainly to see where mistakes may be made, as I even looked into his Java script to see what nos. he is using. I disagree on some of it. I do like the lay-out of it all! Personally I still use some old fashioned Excel spreadsheets. His webpage style appears much nicer.

The free play and half point calculators are an important part of my arsenal.

They're also good to play around with using hypothetical numbers, to get a feel for how the numbers of betting and money management work in general.

I can barely work a Texas Instruments calculator, the college kind. So I will not attempt to work one of his statistical percentage half-arb push kelly criteria formula calculators.

Yes, freeplay and scalp calculators are solid gold.

I only use my own ones but I am sure Ganchrows calculators are very useful too.

I use the half point calculator extensively during the NFL season to see if I can get a better vig price on games.

Ganchrow you don't seem like the type of guy whose interested in making profit off himself, which is respectable, but have you ever considered making an even more dumbed down version of all your tools? That'd be a big seller. I'd like to think I'm in the know as far as general gambling knowledge is concerned, but your complex numbers are over my head bro. Maybe grab some coffee with me in NY one day and educate me.

I know what you mean, crazy. I've been learning Ganchese for the past couple of years now. Have really only used the calculators out of curiosity as I'm more a straight moneyline player myself...plus I'm just a stubborn old dog who isn't always that keen on learning new tricks.
