OK — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I never could work out what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at work out each way bet — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious tools. They’ve got an probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout feels a bit basic — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid are a squeeze. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few „wait, that’s it?“ moments.
So — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at kelly strategy calculator and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely made a difference is the geekier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels very functional, let’s say — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could work out what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format.

It’s not perfect mind. Its design looks pretty plain — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format.

What genuinely made a difference were the nerdier tools. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is pretty plain — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And no app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
