So — been using this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I never could figure out what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in the price and your stake and you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]yankee calc[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely made a difference is the nerdier bits. There’s an probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout is very functional, let’s say — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
OK — been on this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com]free single bet[/url] — free, no signup.
What really made a difference were the geekier bits. The odds-to-probability calculator that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks a bit basic — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works although the acca grid are a squeeze. And no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
OK — been on this thing for maybe four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, 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/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion betting calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually made a difference is the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
