So — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — type in the price and your stake and it shows returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]accumulator matched betting calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely made a difference is the more serious extras. They’ve got an probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The layout looks a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone even now 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 maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out the return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]trixie bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually made a difference were the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout feels pretty plain — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, try it — saves me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
So — been on this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]acca bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the geekier bits. They’ve got an implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks very functional, let’s say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If you honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
