So — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.

How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]half kelly calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

One thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the nerdier bits. There’s an implied probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m spreading across selections.

Couple of gripes. The layout is very functional, let’s say — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.

So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

OK — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.

The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting calc[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

The thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the nerdier extras. The probability thing which shows you the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too when I’m splitting a race.

Not all sunshine though. The design looks a bit basic — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.

Right — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.

What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I never could work out what an each way payout would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.

The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied odds calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

What really made a difference was the geekier bits. There’s an implied probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. Its layout looks pretty plain — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.

Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
