So — been using this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]each way odds[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels a bit basic — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]work out lucky 63[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really changed how I bet is the geekier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing which shows you the overround, and a kelly tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is 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 though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
