So — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]online matched betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really made a difference were the more serious extras. There’s an implied probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
So — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows returns instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]calculate yankee bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely shifted things for me were the more serious bits. The odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its design feels very functional, let’s say — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
So — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I could never figure out what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and you get the return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]vig calc[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really changed how I bet was the nerdier bits. They’ve got an probability thing that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its layout feels pretty plain — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
