Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.

What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in stake and odds and it shows the return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]trixie calc[/url] — free, no signup.

One thing that actually changed how I bet was the geekier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I’m splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. The design feels very functional, let’s say — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.

Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
