OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.

How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.

Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/treble]what is a treble bet[/url] — free, no signup.

One thing that actually made a difference were the more serious tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.

Couple of gripes. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

So — been using this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, 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 would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/super-heinz]how many selections in a super heinz[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

One thing that actually shifted things for me is the more serious tools. The implied probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m spreading across selections.

It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels very functional, let’s say — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And 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, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.

OK — been using this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.

Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — type in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched bet finder[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

What really made a difference were the nerdier tools. There’s an implied probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.

Couple of gripes. Its interface looks pretty plain — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine though the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone still does the maths on paper, try it — saved me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
