    So — have been messing about with 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 the other day. I’m UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.

    The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could work out what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.

    Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]bet accumulator calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    What actually changed how I bet is the more serious extras. The probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.

    Not all sunshine though. Its design is pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.

    So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

    OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.

    What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never work out what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.

    The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows the return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/patent]ew patent calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

    What actually made a difference was the nerdier extras. They’ve got an probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m splitting a race.

    Not all sunshine though. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

    Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone still does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
