Guide to Additional Calculators
8 Jun 2023
Updated: 19 Nov 2023
I have created a number of different calculators that could be useful in certain circumstances. These are all available on the forum, but I thought it would be useful to list them all here, with brief details of what they do. Some of these are modified versions of existing PA calculators, and others are completely new calculators.
Most of these can be found in the Calculator Guides section, along with other useful additional calculators.

Initially created to help to lay Kwiff Surprise Bets, but could also help in dealing with tricky bets with other bookmakers. A wide range of bet types can be selected and the calculator gives one or more ways to lay or dutch the bet.
A very specialised calculator for scenarios when you might need to do a combination of back and lay bets to deal with a particular situation. This was created for a very specific set of markets to help with the Bet Matcher Calculator, but could possibly used for other scenarios.
Bonus Lock-In Fixabet Calculator
A version of the Fixabet Calculator with a part lay section, for partly laid bets placed with this calculator. This works in both 'Loses' and 'Wins' modes. For overlaid bets, the regular Fixabet Calculator can just be used in 'Cash Out' mode.
A calculator created specifically for the Unibet sign-up offer. Lots of people new to matched betting find this offer challenging, so this is available to help them with this. It includes all of the different stages of the offer, and breaks down all of the potential profits throughout, including a break-down of the final overall position once all bets have settled. It could be useful to both guide people through the offer, as it tells them what to do next, and also if they want to know in detail where their profit comes from with the offer.

Part Lay Fixabet Calculator with Place Bet Option
A version of Fixabet Calculator with a 'Place' option in the drop-down menu, to quickly fix the place part of each way bets, after entering in the win odds and details of the place lay bet. This doesn't break down the overall positions, but the 'Each Way Calculator With Fixabet for Part Laid Bets' (see below) can be used for this, and this other calculator can also be used to fix bets in the same way as this one.

[Each Way Calculator With Fixabet for Part Laid Bets](https://forum.profitaccumulator.co.uk/topic/107549/each-way-calculator-with-fixabet-for-part-laid-bets)
A version of the Each Way Calculator with a part-lay section for part laid bets. This can be used if the win and/or place bet are partially matched. It also breaks down the overall position, after all bets have been settled. The 'Part Lay Fixabet Calculator with Place Bet Option' can be used to more quickly fix part-laid place bets, without giving full details of the overall position.

[Multiple Selection Dutching Calculator](https://forum.profitaccumulator.co.uk/topic/98673/multiple-selection-dutching-calculator-guide)
A dutching calculator that can take many more different bets than the regular dutching calculator (up to 40-way, if you particularly wanted to dutch the field of the Grand National - which you shouldn't!) This works with Normal and Free Bet SNR bets for all of the different bets, and also features rounding up or down to the nearest £1, £5 and £10.

[Extra Place EV and Lock-In Calculator](https://forum.profitaccumulator.co.uk/topic/92459/extra-place-ev-and-lock-in-calculator-a-guide)
This was created to estimate the Expected Value (EV) of extra place bets, by looking at certain exchange place odds. It also has a section that could, in theory, be used to lock in a profit on extra place bets, before the race takes place. However, in reality, it is very likely that the required exchange place markets won't be well formed enough, and/or the odds won't be good enough, to actually lock in a profit in practice. I haven't investigated this much though, so perhaps it could be used on occasion to lock in, perhaps if a bookie was paying 2 or more extra places.

[Permutation Spreadsheet Guide](https://forum.profitaccumulator.co.uk/topic/88423/permutation-spreadsheet-guide)
This can be used to lay all of the different standard permutation bets offered by bookmakers, as well as accumulators with up to 8 legs. Permutation bets include Yankees, 'Lucky' bets (for example Lucky 15s and Lucky 63s) and everything up to Goliath bets. It works with in both 'Normal' mode (i.e. cash bets) and 'Free Bet (SNR)' mode. However, the version uploaded to the site, although it gives the correct lay stakes for laying free bets, does not give the correct profits. I have made another version that does give the correct profits for free bets, but this is not in a state that can be uploaded to the forum, as it is work in progress at the moment.
With accumulators, it could be used to easily work out what to do if a leg is voided, since it has a 'Void' option for each of the bets, which takes this into account. Bets must be laid sequentially with this calculator, so there must be a gap between all of the legs.
For permutation bets, there are a few bookmakers that have offers on these, for example Betfred and Betway, so this calculator could be used for these potentially, as an alternative to treating them as advantage play.
