Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could work out what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows returns instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]single calculator bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually changed how I bet were the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The design is pretty plain — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

Right — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and you get returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly calculator betting[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really shifted things for me is the geekier extras. They’ve got an probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The layout is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
