So — been on this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting odds calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really made a difference is the nerdier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels very functional, let’s say — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works but the acca grid are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone even now 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 about four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could work out what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track.

What really changed how I bet was the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been on this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you put in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]quarter kelly calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really shifted things for me is the more serious tools. The implied probability thing that shows the overround, and a kelly calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The design looks a bit basic — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
