So — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.

How I found it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.

Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get returns straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/betting-margin]bookmaker margin calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

One thing that genuinely made a difference is the nerdier extras. There’s an probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too when I’m splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. The interface is a bit basic — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.

Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you even now does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
