So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]half kelly calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely made a difference was the nerdier bits. They’ve got an probability calculator which shows you the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The design is very functional, let’s say — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an ew payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]calculator matched betting[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually shifted things for me is the more serious extras. The implied probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The interface looks a bit basic — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
OK — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/dutch]dutching bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely made a difference were the nerdier tools. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
OK — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an e/w payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, 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/patent]patent bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious tools. The probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
