OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. 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 — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched odds calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really shifted things for me was the geekier tools. They’ve got an probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface feels a bit basic — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you still does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

So — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am in the UK, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out the return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]fractional kelly calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. The implied probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout feels pretty plain — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, try it — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
