Right — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w payout actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it shows the return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds converter betting[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier extras. There’s an probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its layout looks a bit basic — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I could never figure out what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — type in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]how to work out an each way bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the geekier tools. They’ve got an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]bet converter odds[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually shifted things for me is the nerdier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works but the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a fair few « wait, that’s it? » moments.
