So — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally 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 honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.

The single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/double]bet calculator double[/url] — free, no signup.

The thing that genuinely made a difference was the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.

Not all sunshine though. The interface looks pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.

Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

So — been on this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.

What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.

The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — type in stake and odds and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]how to work out a lucky 63[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

The thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the nerdier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.

It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks pretty plain — not much flash, 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. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.

Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

Right — been on this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.

The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.

Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows returns instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/treble]what is a treble bet[/url] — free, no signup.

The thing that actually changed how I bet were the geekier bits. The probability thing that shows the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.

Couple of gripes. The design feels pretty plain — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.

So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
