Right — been on this thing for something like six months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I'd say something since someone asked me the other day. I'm based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.

How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could figure out what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.

Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that's where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at odds matching — free, no signup.

One thing that actually changed how I bet were the more serious tools. There's an odds-to-probability thing 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 a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too if I'm spreading across selections.

It's not perfect mind. The design is pretty plain — no flash, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On my phone it works although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there's nothing on the app store, it's a website and that's it — fine by me but you asked.

So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

OK — been using this thing for something like four months now and it's stuck on my phone, so figured I'd say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I'm UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.

What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never work out what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I'd wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.

Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, either odds format. There's also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that's where I'd always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at matched betting formula and it's free with no account nonsense.

The thing that actually changed how I bet was the more serious extras. There's an implied probability converter which shows you what margin's baked in, plus a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I'm spreading across selections.

It's not perfect mind. The interface is very functional, let's say — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it's fine although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there's no app, it's a website and that's it — doesn't bother me but you asked.

Right, that's me. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If you still adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few dumb bets I'd have regretted.
