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 lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I never could figure out what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I open most — you put in stake and odds and it shows the return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]bet and lay calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually made a difference was the geekier bits. The probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, works. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, try it — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

OK — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]49s yankee bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely shifted things for me was the nerdier bits. There’s an probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels pretty plain — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, works. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
