So — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never work out what an ew payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion calculator excel[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really changed how I bet is the geekier extras. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks pretty plain — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in the price and your stake and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]irish lotto trixie bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I use half 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.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels pretty plain — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
