    So — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.

    The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

    Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in stake and odds and it shows returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]single stakes about bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    One thing that really shifted things for me was the more serious extras. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.

    Couple of gripes. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.

    Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.

    So — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.

    How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w payout actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.

    Their single bet calculator is the part I open most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]work out lucky 63[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    What genuinely made a difference is the nerdier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter which shows you the overround, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.

    It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels a bit basic — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.

    So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
