So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I'd say something since a mate asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context. How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I could never work out what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt. The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get the return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I'd always mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at ew bet calculator and there's no login wall, which I appreciated. What really made a difference was the more serious bits. There's an probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie's taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I'm covering two or three runners. Not all sunshine though. The layout looks pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no proper app, it's browser only — slight shame but worth saying. Anyway. Doesn't cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it's saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
