    OK — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.

    The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.

    The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and you get returns with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion sports betting calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

    One thing that really made a difference were the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.

    Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks a bit basic — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.

    So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

    So — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

    How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.

    Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]each way odds[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    One thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier tools. There’s an implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.

    Not all sunshine though. Its design is very functional, let’s say — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable though the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.

    So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
