Right — been on this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky 15 bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really shifted things for me were the more serious tools. There’s an probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface is a bit basic — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]each way bets calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually shifted things for me was the more serious extras. The probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface is a bit basic — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
