Étiqueté : single bet calculator
Right — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]betfred lucky 63 calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really changed how I bet was the geekier extras. They’ve got an probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The design is very functional, let’s say — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
So — been using this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could figure out what an ew payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]yankee accumulator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually made a difference was the geekier bits. The implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks pretty plain — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/treble]betting trebles[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really shifted things for me is the more serious bits. They’ve got an implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The design is pretty plain — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a fair few « wait, that’s it? » moments.
