Right — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]free bet calculator lucky 15[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually shifted things for me were the geekier bits. The probability converter that shows the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout is pretty plain — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

Right — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability sports betting[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really made a difference was the nerdier tools. The implied probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design is a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
