OK — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in the price and your stake and it shows returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]no vig[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really made a difference is the more serious tools. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never work out what an e/w payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows returns instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]ew bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the geekier tools. There’s an implied probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface looks very functional, let’s say — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works though the bigger tables are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
