So — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could work out what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and you get returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting stake not returned[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really shifted things for me were the geekier extras. The implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine but the acca grid are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

So — been on this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows returns with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]bet matching calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely changed how I bet was the nerdier tools. There’s an probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The design looks pretty plain — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
