So — have been messing about with this thing for about 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 based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]calculate yankee bet[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually changed how I bet was the nerdier extras. The probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The design looks very functional, let’s say — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a fair few 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 write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could work out what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it shows returns straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/treble]betting trebles[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually made a difference is the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design looks pretty plain — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I never could work out what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]bet calculator lucky 63[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really shifted things for me was the nerdier extras. There’s an implied probability converter which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks pretty plain — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. If you even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
