OK — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows returns with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]each way bet calculator william hill[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually shifted things for me were the nerdier extras. The odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface is pretty plain — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

So — been using this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an e/w payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it shows the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/patent]permed patent bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually made a difference were the geekier bits. They’ve got an probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface feels very functional, let’s say — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
