Right — been on this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]how to work out a lucky 63[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really shifted things for me was the more serious extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design feels very functional, let’s say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. 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. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
OK — been using this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and you get returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/patent]patent calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really shifted things for me was the nerdier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. 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 arguments with the bookie.
OK — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky 15 bet[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really shifted things for me was the geekier bits. There’s an probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is decent when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The design is pretty plain — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If you even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
