Right — been on this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I never could figure out what an e/w payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at profit accumulator calculator and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely shifted things for me is the more serious extras. There’s an implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its design looks pretty plain — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
So — been using this thing for something like a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at each way yankee calculator and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really changed how I bet is the nerdier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks pretty plain — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here bookies odds converter — free, no signup.
What genuinely changed how I bet is the nerdier tools. The probability calculator which shows you the overround, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is pretty plain — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, try it — saves me plenty of „wait, that’s it?“ moments.
OK — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.

Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at lucky 63 betmentor calculator — free, no signup.
What genuinely shifted things for me was the more serious tools. There’s an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the 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 spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
