Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like five 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 UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.

How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]calculator matched betting[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

The thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the more serious bits. They’ve got an probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.

It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels a bit basic — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.

Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
