OK — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it shows the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky 15 odds calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually changed how I bet were the nerdier extras. The implied probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks a bit basic — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

OK — been on this thing for maybe six 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 in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never work out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched odds[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually shifted things for me is the geekier extras. There’s an probability calculator which shows you the overround, plus a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The design is a bit basic — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone still adds it up in their head, try it — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
