Right — been on this thing for maybe four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I could never figure out what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 bet365[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually made a difference were the geekier extras. There’s an implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface looks a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I could never figure out what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in stake and odds and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up.

What actually changed how I bet is the nerdier extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
