OK — been using this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds convertor[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really shifted things for me were the geekier bits. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

OK — been using this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I never could work out what an ew return actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]accum calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually shifted things for me was the geekier extras. There’s an probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface is very functional, let’s say — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
