Right — been on this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I could never work out what an ew payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/implied-probability]betting probability[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely made a difference is the geekier extras. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you even now adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

Right — been on this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an each way payout would be when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows the return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I always lose track.

One thing that actually changed how I bet were the more serious bits. There’s an implied probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks a bit basic — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
