    So — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

    Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]how many selections in a super heinz[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    One thing that really changed how I bet is the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.

    It’s not perfect mind. The layout is a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

    So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

    OK — been on this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m UK based, 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 never could figure out what an e/w payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.

    Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows returns instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly 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/lucky-63]ace odds lucky 63[/url] — free, no signup.

    What really made a difference is the geekier extras. There’s an probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.

    Couple of gripes. Its interface is a bit basic — not much 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 make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

    So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
