    Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.

    Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/patent]patent calculator bet[/url] — free, no signup.

    What genuinely made a difference was the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.

    It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels pretty plain — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.

    Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

    Right — been on this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.

    What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.

    The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/dutch]betting dutching calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

    The thing that really changed how I bet was the nerdier bits. They’ve got an probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.

    Not all sunshine though. The interface looks a bit basic — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.

    Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, try it — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
