OK — been using this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.

How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.

The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]no-vig calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

The thing that actually changed how I bet is the more serious bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter which shows you the overround, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.

It’s not perfect mind. Its design is pretty plain — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.

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 lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.

How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.

Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]smarkets calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

The thing that actually shifted things for me is the more serious tools. The implied probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too if I’m splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. The interface looks very functional, let’s say — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine although the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you even now adds it up in their head, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.

The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.

Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/treble]each way treble calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

The thing that actually changed how I bet was the geekier tools. There’s an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.

Not all sunshine though. Its layout is a bit basic — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
