OK — been on this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew payout actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — 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 lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]ace odds lucky 63[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually made a difference were the more serious extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator that shows the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The design is very functional, let’s say — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you even now adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
OK — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]calculate lucky 15[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the geekier tools. There’s an probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The layout looks very functional, let’s say — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable though the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I could never work out what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — type in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]free matched bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually shifted things for me is the geekier tools. The implied probability calculator that shows the overround, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The design feels a bit basic — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
