Right — been using this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I never could work out what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get the return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com]what is a single bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually changed how I bet were the nerdier tools. They’ve got an probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is a bit basic — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, 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 maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/implied-probability]odds probability calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious bits. There’s an probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is pretty plain — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

OK — been on this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could work out what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]lay bet calc[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually made a difference was the nerdier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

OK — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.

What actually changed how I bet were the geekier extras. The probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — no frills, 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 nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you even now adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

OK — been using this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/double]bet calculator double[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually shifted things for me were the geekier extras. The probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout is pretty plain — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
