    So — been using this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. Am in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

    Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it shows returns instantly, 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’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]ace odds lucky 63[/url] — free, no signup.

    One thing that actually made a difference is the geekier tools. They’ve got an probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.

    Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

    Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

    Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.

    What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I could never figure out what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

    Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]bet calculator super heinz[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    What genuinely made a difference were the geekier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.

    Couple of gripes. The design is very functional, let’s say — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid are a squeeze. And no app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.

    Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
