Right — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I never could work out what an ew return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, 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/super-heinz]how many bets in a super heinz[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually changed how I bet were the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability calculator which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design feels very functional, let’s say — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I could never figure out what an ew payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk]ew single bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really shifted things for me is the geekier extras. The implied probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The design is a bit basic — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
So — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an e/w payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]irish lotto bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely made a difference was the geekier tools. They’ve got an implied probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks a bit basic — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.

What really changed how I bet were the more serious tools. There’s an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, 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 if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is pretty plain — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine but the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
