Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an e/w return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in stake and odds and you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly formula calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely made a difference were the more serious bits. The odds-to-probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The design looks very functional, let’s say — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works although the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

So — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/patent]work out patent bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually made a difference was the geekier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
