OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I could never work out what an each way return actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting calculator excel[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually changed how I bet is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout feels pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

OK — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an each way payout would be when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows returns with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]profit accumulator calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the geekier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout is a bit basic — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
