OK — been using this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.

What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.

The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in stake and odds and you get returns straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here what is a trixie bet? and it’s free with no account nonsense.

The thing that really changed how I bet was the more serious tools. There’s an probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.

Couple of gripes. The interface is a bit basic — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works though the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.

So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

OK — been on this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.

How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could work out what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.

The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in stake and odds and you get returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at match calculator and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

The thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability calculator which shows you the overround, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.

Not all sunshine though. The design is a bit basic — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.

Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If you honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.

What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never work out what an each way return actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.

The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at matched betting tool — free, no signup.

One thing that genuinely made a difference is the nerdier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.

It’s not perfect mind. Its design is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine but the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.

So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

So — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.

What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.

Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it shows returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at football accumulator calculator — free, no signup.

What actually changed how I bet is the geekier extras. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.

Couple of gripes. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable though the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.

Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
