    So — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.

    Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]what is a lucky 63[/url] — free, no signup.

    One thing that actually shifted things for me were the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability thing that shows the overround, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.

    Couple of gripes. The layout is a bit basic — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. 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 but you asked.

    So yeah. Free, barely any ads, works. If you still adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

    OK — been using this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, for context.

    The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.

    Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/double]double bet[/url] — free, no signup.

    The thing that really changed how I bet were the geekier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.

    Not all sunshine though. Its layout feels pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.

    Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
