Right — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually shifted things for me were the geekier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The design is pretty plain — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
So — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com]single calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What really changed how I bet was the more serious bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent if I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The design is a bit basic — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been on this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never figure out what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it shows the return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]ew calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely made a difference is the more serious bits. There’s an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks very functional, let’s say — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
