OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never work out what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really made a difference was the nerdier tools. There’s an probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout is a bit basic — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m 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 honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — type in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/implied-probability]how to calculate implied odds sports betting[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious extras. The probability calculator that shows the overround, plus a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks very functional, let’s say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — been on this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop 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 — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always lose track.

The thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the nerdier extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its design looks pretty plain — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine though the acca grid are a squeeze. And no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
