The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.

Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]each way single bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

The thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier tools. There’s an probability converter which shows you the overround, and a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.

Couple of gripes. The design feels a bit basic — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.

Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
