So — been using this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never figure out what an ew return actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]how to work out each way bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really shifted things for me were the more serious tools. They’ve got an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The design looks pretty plain — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone still does the maths on paper, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

Right — been using this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — type in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]ew trixie[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the geekier bits. They’ve got an probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface feels a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
