    OK — been using this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.

    The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.

    Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — 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, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/double]bet calculator double[/url] — free, no signup.

    The thing that genuinely made a difference is the geekier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.

    It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks very functional, let’s say — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.

    So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

    So — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.

    What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never figure out what an each way return actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

    The single bet calculator is the part I open most — you put in the price and your stake and you get the return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]lay bet calc[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    One thing that genuinely made a difference is the geekier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.

    Couple of gripes. The interface feels pretty plain — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but you asked.

    Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
