So — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.

The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]vig calc[/url] — free, no signup.

What really changed how I bet was the more serious extras. There’s an implied probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.

It’s not perfect mind. The interface looks pretty plain — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.

Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me a fair few « wait, that’s it? » moments.

OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few 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 last week. I’m based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.

How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never figure out what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and you get the return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/treble]trebles calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

What actually made a difference is the more serious extras. There’s an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.

It’s not perfect mind. The design is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.

Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
