Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could work out what an e/w return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always lose track.

One thing that actually shifted things for me were the geekier bits. The probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
