Right — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.

The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds format converter[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

One thing that actually made a difference was the geekier extras. There’s an probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.

Not all sunshine though. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works though the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.

So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

So — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.

The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.

The single bet calculator is the one I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/double]each way double calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

The thing that actually made a difference is the more serious extras. They’ve got an probability converter which shows you the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. The layout is a bit basic — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.

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

Right — been on this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.

How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never work out what an ew payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in first, every time, 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 returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]betfred lucky 15 calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

One thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent when I’m spreading across selections.

Couple of gripes. Its layout is a bit basic — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.

Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
