OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.

How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an ew payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows the return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]odds matching[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

What really made a difference were the geekier tools. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.

Not all sunshine though. The interface is very functional, let’s say — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.

Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.

Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.

How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could figure out what an e/w payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.

Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and you get returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]acc calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

The thing that genuinely made a difference was the geekier tools. They’ve got an implied probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I’m spreading across selections.

It’s not perfect mind. Its interface feels a bit basic — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.

So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

So — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.

What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]each way acca calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

One thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.

Couple of gripes. The interface looks a bit basic — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine though the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.

Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
