OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.

The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.

The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows returns with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]calculate lucky 15 bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

What actually shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.

Not all sunshine though. The layout looks a bit basic — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

Anyway. Free, barely any ads, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

Right — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.

What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]novig calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

One thing that really shifted things for me were the nerdier bits. There’s an probability calculator that shows the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.

Couple of gripes. The design looks a bit basic — no 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 need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.

Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

So — been using this thing for something like 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. I’m UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.

How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an ew payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.

Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]how to calculate each way bets[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

One thing that actually made a difference was the nerdier bits. The odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.

It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid are a squeeze. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
