    Right — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.

    The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could work out what an e/w payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.

    The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/patent]patent bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    One thing that really shifted things for me were the more serious tools. They’ve got an probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent when I’m spreading across selections.

    It’s not perfect mind. The layout is very functional, let’s say — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

    So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

    Right — been using this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mainly 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 actually embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.

    The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]bet calculator heinz[/url] — free, no signup.

    The thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the more serious tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.

    Not all sunshine though. The layout is a bit basic — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.

    So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
