Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky 15 calculator bet[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually made a difference were the nerdier bits. The implied probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.

Right — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely shifted things for me were the geekier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks very functional, let’s say — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. 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, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
