So — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.

The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]no-vig fair odds calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

The thing that actually changed how I bet is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an probability thing that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.

Couple of gripes. Its interface is pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable although the acca grid are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.

Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few « wait, that’s it? » moments.
