single bet calculator

OK — been using this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I'd chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I'm coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I never could figure out what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I'd just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I'm on daily — type in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that's where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at how to work out an each way bet and there's no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the geekier extras. There's an odds-to-probability calculator that shows how much the bookie's taking, and there's the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I'm splitting a race.
It's not perfect mind. The layout is pretty plain — not much frills, it's clearly function over form. On mobile it's usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there's nothing on the app store, it's browser only — doesn't bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn't cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me plenty of "wait, that's it?" moments.
