    OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.

    The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.

    The single bet calculator is the one I open most — type in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]vig calculator decimal[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

    The thing that actually changed how I bet is the nerdier tools. They’ve got an probability thing that shows the overround, and a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.

    Couple of gripes. The design feels a bit basic — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.

    Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.

    So — been using this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.

    Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]vig calc[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    One thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the more serious bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.

    Couple of gripes. The layout is very functional, let’s say — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.

    Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

    OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.

    The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.

    Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it spits out the return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]what is a lucky 63[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

    What really shifted things for me were the more serious bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.

    Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks pretty plain — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works though the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.

    Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
