OK — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]bet lay calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely made a difference was the more serious extras. The probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
So — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]how to calculate each way bets[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually changed how I bet was the more serious tools. There’s an probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design looks a bit basic — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I never could work out what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds converter[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really changed how I bet were the nerdier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is very functional, let’s say — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
