OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way return would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.

Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]match betting odds finder[/url] — free, no signup.

What actually made a difference is the geekier tools. There’s an implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too when I’m splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. The layout is pretty plain — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.

So yeah. Free, barely any ads, works. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

So — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.

How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.

Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]exchange betting calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

One thing that actually made a difference were the more serious tools. There’s an probability converter which shows you the overround, plus a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.

Not all sunshine though. Its design is very functional, let’s say — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.

Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
