Right — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out the return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]exchange betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really made a difference was the nerdier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator which shows you the overround, and a kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface looks a bit basic — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

So — been using this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could work out what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]singles calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What really changed how I bet was the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
