Right — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.

What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I could never figure out what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.

The single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows the return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting finder[/url] — free, no signup.

One thing that really shifted things for me was the more serious tools. The implied probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent when I’m spreading across selections.

Couple of gripes. The layout looks very functional, let’s say — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine but the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.

Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If you honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an e/w payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator is the one I open most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]acca odds[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

One thing that actually made a difference is the geekier tools. The odds-to-probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.

It’s not perfect mind. Its interface looks a bit basic — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
