OK — been using this thing for about four months now and it's stuck on my phone, so figured I'd say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout actually came to 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 a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that's where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it's over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]bet odds converter[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the more serious tools. They've got an odds-to-probability thing that shows the overround, and a kelly tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too for when I'm covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design feels very functional, let's say — zero flash, it's clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works but the bigger tables are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that's me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still does the maths on paper, have a look — it's saved me a load of dumb bets I'd have regretted.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I'd chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I'd eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I'm on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I'd always mess it up. If you want a look, it's here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]free bet calculator single[/url] and it's free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually shifted things for me was the geekier bits. They've got an probability converter that shows what margin's baked in, plus a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I'm splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout feels pretty plain — not much flash, it's clearly function over form. On mobile it works but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there's no proper app, it's browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that's me. Doesn't cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, try it — saved me plenty of "wait, that's it?" moments.
Right — been on this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I'd chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. I'm based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could work out what an ew payout would be when the place terms changed. I'd just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]whats a super heinz bet[/url] and it's free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really made a difference was the nerdier tools. There's an odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie's taking, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I'm covering two or three runners.
It's not perfect mind. Its interface is pretty plain — zero frills, it's clearly function over form. On mobile it's usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there's no proper app, it's a website and that's it — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that's me. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and it's stuck on my phone, so thought I'd chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I'm coming from.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an each way return would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I'd wing it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I'd always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it's here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting calculator free[/url] and there's no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely made a difference were the more serious extras. They've got an implied probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too when I'm spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is pretty plain — no frills, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On my phone it's usable but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There's nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn't bother me just flagging it.
Right, that's me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few dumb bets I'd have regretted.

Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns instantly, either odds format. There's also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that's where most people I know lose track.

It's not perfect mind. The layout is pretty plain — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it's usable but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there's no proper app, it's a website and that's it — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
