      So — been using this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.

      What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout would be when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.

      Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how to work out a lucky 15 bet[/url] — free, no signup.

      One thing that actually changed how I bet is the geekier extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.

      Couple of gripes. The design looks a bit basic — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

      Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

      OK — been on this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.

      The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.

      The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]doubles accumulator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

      One thing that actually changed how I bet is the more serious tools. The probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.

      Couple of gripes. The interface feels pretty plain — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. 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, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
