So — been on this thing for about a few months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I'd write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I'm in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in the price and your stake and you get the return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that's where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it's here <a href=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting>smarke
ts</a> and it's free with no account nonsense.
What actually made a difference were the more serious bits. The odds-to-probability converter which shows you how much the bookie's taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I'm splitting a race.
It's not perfect mind. Its interface looks pretty plain — no polish, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On mobile it's fine but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There's no proper app, it's browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a fair few "wait, that's it?" moments.
