Right — been using this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I could never figure out what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]l15 calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really changed how I bet was the nerdier bits. The odds-to-probability converter which shows you the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design is pretty plain — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine though the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

Right — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an each way payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/betting-margin]overround calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the nerdier tools. They’ve got an probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The design feels pretty plain — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine but the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
