    So — been using this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.

    What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

    Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds converter betting[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    One thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.

    Couple of gripes. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.

    Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you still adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

    Right — been on this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. 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 embarrassing — I never could figure out what an each way payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.

    The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it shows the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]bet365 super heinz[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    The thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the nerdier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent when I’m splitting a race.

    It’s not perfect mind. The layout is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.

    So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
