OK — been on this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.

The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an e/w payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]horse racing accumulator calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

One thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the nerdier extras. They’ve got an probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. Its layout is pretty plain — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.

Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
