OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion calculator excel[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually shifted things for me were the geekier extras. They’ve got an implied probability converter which shows you the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks a bit basic — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine though the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

Right — been on this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]accum bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely made a difference were the nerdier extras. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The layout is a bit basic — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
