    So — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.

    How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.

    The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]bet lay calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    One thing that really changed how I bet were the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.

    Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks pretty plain — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

    So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

    Right — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.

    The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.

    The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 kalkulátor[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

    What actually made a difference is the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.

    Couple of gripes. The design is pretty plain — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine although the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but you asked.

    So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.

    Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.

    Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky 15 bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    One thing that really shifted things for me was the more serious bits. They’ve got an probability converter which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.

    Not all sunshine though. The layout is very functional, let’s say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

    Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
