OK — been using this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am 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 a bit daft — I could never work out what an each way return actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly staking calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What really changed how I bet were the geekier bits. There’s an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter 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. The interface feels a bit basic — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.

What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched bonus bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the more serious extras. They’ve got an implied probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional 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. Its layout feels a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
