  1. OK — been on this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.

    How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never work out what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.

    The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at what is a trixie bet — free, no signup.

    The thing that really changed how I bet were the more serious bits. The probability calculator that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.

    Couple of gripes. Its layout looks pretty plain — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.

    Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.

  2. So — been using this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.

    The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never work out what an each way return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.

    Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and you get profit and total return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at how to calculate each way bet and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

    The thing that actually shifted things for me is the more serious extras. The implied probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.

    It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

    Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
