    OK — been on this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.

    The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]no vig odds calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    The thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.

    Couple of gripes. The design is pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

    So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

    Right — been using this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.

    How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

    Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]cross and double bet calculator free[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    The thing that genuinely made a difference is the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.

    It’s not perfect mind. The layout is very functional, let’s say — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.

    So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
