Right — been using this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I never could work out what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/treble]betting trebles[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually shifted things for me were the more serious extras. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
So — been using this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]no vig[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually made a difference was the nerdier bits. The implied probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface feels very functional, let’s say — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
So — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never figure out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake 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 you get returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]odds accumulator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really shifted things for me was the nerdier extras. The implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works though the bigger tables are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, try it — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I could never work out what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]smarkets[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually changed how I bet is the nerdier extras. They’ve got an probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout is very functional, let’s say — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
