OK — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I could never work out what an ew payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting matcher[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually shifted things for me was the more serious tools. They’ve got an probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface is very functional, let’s say — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

OK — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an e/w payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it shows returns straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion sports betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really made a difference is the more serious extras. There’s an implied probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The design is a bit basic — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
