So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]advanced matched betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really made a difference is the geekier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its layout looks a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you still adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
Right — been using this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, 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://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]advanced matched betting calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually changed how I bet were the more serious bits. They’ve got an implied probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The design looks pretty plain — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for about a few 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. I’m based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could work out what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]trixie calc[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually changed how I bet was the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels pretty plain — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
OK — been on this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an each way return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/treble]betting trebles[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really shifted things for me was the geekier tools. The probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks very functional, let’s say — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
