OK — been using this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched odds[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually shifted things for me was the geekier tools. There’s an implied probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The design looks pretty plain — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
