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

How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never figure out what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in stake and odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here back and lay calculator and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

The thing that really changed how I bet was the geekier extras. There’s an probability converter that shows the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.

It’s not perfect mind. Its layout is a bit basic — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.

Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you still adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

OK — been on this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could work out what an ew return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here calculator profit accumulator — free, no signup.

What actually shifted things for me is the nerdier extras. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m splitting a race.

It’s not perfect mind. Its design is very functional, let’s say — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

OK — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.

What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.

Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and you get the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at trixie odds calculator and it’s free with no account nonsense.

What actually made a difference is the nerdier extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.

Not all sunshine though. The layout looks pretty plain — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works though the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.

Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

Right — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.

How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.

The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at kelly criterion betting calculator and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

The thing that genuinely made a difference is the nerdier extras. They’ve got an probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.

Not all sunshine though. The layout looks pretty plain — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine although the acca grid are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.

Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
