So — been on this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never work out what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get returns with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]william hill bet calculator lucky 15[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really made a difference was the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels a bit basic — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w return actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]trixie calc[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually made a difference was the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is pretty plain — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
So — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter]converter odds[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually made a difference is the more serious bits. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The design looks pretty plain — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
