Right — been on this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an each way return would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong.

The thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability converter which shows you the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface is a bit basic — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
