Étiqueté : single bet calculator
OK — been using 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 a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]work out each way bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the more serious extras. There’s an probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface feels a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no app, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]ew trixie[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really made a difference is the more serious bits. The implied probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface feels a bit basic — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few « wait, that’s it? » moments.
So — been using this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an ew payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in stake and odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]back and lay calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually shifted things for me was the more serious tools. They’ve got an implied probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
