So — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am UK based, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way return would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz betting[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really shifted things for me were the geekier extras. They’ve got an probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The interface is a bit basic — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been on this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I could never work out what an e/w payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know lose track.

What genuinely shifted things for me is the more serious extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing that shows the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The interface is pretty plain — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, try it — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
