So — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]european odds converter[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually changed how I bet were the more serious bits. The probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The design looks a bit basic — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

Right — been on this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — type in your stake, the odds and you get the return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly calculator sports betting[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really changed how I bet were the nerdier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
