    Right — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.

    How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.

    Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]match calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

    One thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the geekier bits. The implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.

    It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks a bit basic — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

    Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

    So — have been messing about with this thing for about five 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, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.

    The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an each way return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.

    The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in stake and odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]yankee bets[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    The thing that really shifted things for me is the more serious bits. There’s an probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.

    It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels pretty plain — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

    Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
