Étiqueté : single bet calculator
Right — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter]bookies odds converter[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually made a difference were the geekier tools. They’ve got an probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone still adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never work out what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and you get returns with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied odds calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the more serious tools. There’s an implied probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface is a bit basic — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine though the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, try it — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been using this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and you get the return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how many horses in a lucky 15[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really shifted things for me was the geekier bits. The implied probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface is pretty plain — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If you honestly adds it up in their head, try it — saves me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
