Right — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually made a difference is the nerdier tools. The implied probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — zero flash, 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 browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a fair few « wait, that’s it? » moments.
OK — been using this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it shows returns with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really made a difference is the geekier bits. There’s an implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout is pretty plain — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
OK — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a mate 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.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could figure out what an each way return would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — type in stake and odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually made a difference was the more serious tools. They’ve got an implied probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its design feels very functional, let’s say — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
