So — been using this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I could never figure out what an ew return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/yankee]super yankee bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely made a difference is the more serious extras. The implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its design looks a bit basic — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine but the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
So — have been messing about with 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 the other day. Am in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I never could figure out what an each way payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in stake and odds and it spits out the return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually shifted things for me is the nerdier tools. The probability thing which shows you the overround, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is a bit basic — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine but the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]how to calculate implied odds sports betting[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really changed how I bet was the nerdier extras. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few « wait, that’s it? » moments.
