Right — been on this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it shows the return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong.

One thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the geekier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface feels very functional, let’s say — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable but the acca grid are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
So — been on this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]ace odds lucky 63[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really shifted things for me was the more serious extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The design looks a bit basic — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
