So — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I'd write something up since someone asked me last week. I'm in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.

What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn't ever figure out what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I'd just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — type in stake and odds and you get returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it's over at what is a trixie bet — free, no signup.

What actually changed how I bet were the more serious tools. They've got an probability calculator that shows what margin's baked in, and there's the kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I'm spreading across selections.

Not all sunshine though. The interface is a bit basic — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works although the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no proper app, it's browser only — doesn't bother me just flagging it.

So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a load of dumb bets I'd have regretted.

Right — been on this thing for something like six months now and it's stuck on my phone, so thought I'd write something up since someone asked me the other day. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.

How I found it was actually embarrassing — I could never figure out what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator tool is the part I'm on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that's where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at how to work out an each way bet and it's free with no account nonsense.

The thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the more serious tools. There's an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you the overround, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent if I'm splitting a race.

Not all sunshine though. The layout looks very functional, let's say — no flash, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On my phone it's usable but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there's nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but you asked.

Right, that's me. Doesn't cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it's saved me plenty of "wait, that's it?" moments.
