OK — been on this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.

What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I never could work out what an each way payout would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.

The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — type in the price and your stake and you get the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and 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/lucky-15]how many horses in a lucky 15[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

The thing that actually made a difference was the geekier tools. The probability thing which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. The interface is a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.

So yeah. Free, barely any ads, works. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
