Right — been using this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I could never figure out what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and you get the return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/double]doubles accumulator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually changed how I bet was the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an ew payout would be when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and you get returns straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, 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/implied-probability]betting probability[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely made a difference were the geekier extras. There’s an implied probability calculator which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout feels very functional, let’s say — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the bigger tables are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
