OK — been using this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.

What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]match betting calc[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

What really made a difference were the nerdier extras. The implied probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.

It’s not perfect mind. Its interface looks a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.

So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.

How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched bet finder[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

One thing that actually made a difference were the more serious extras. There’s an probability converter that shows the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.

Not all sunshine though. Its design looks pretty plain — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.

Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could figure out what an e/w return actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.

The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

The thing that actually made a difference was the nerdier bits. The probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent if I’m spreading across selections.

Couple of gripes. The interface is very functional, let’s say — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.

Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
