So — been on this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. I’m UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball 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 one I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]ew single calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually made a difference is the more serious bits. The odds-to-probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is pretty plain — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

So — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in the price and your stake and it shows the return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]back and lay calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the nerdier bits. There’s an implied probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface feels a bit basic — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
