Right — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never figure out what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it shows the return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]novig calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually made a difference was the geekier extras. The probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
So — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out the return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk]single returns calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually shifted things for me is the geekier bits. There’s an probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is very functional, let’s say — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works though the acca grid are a squeeze. And no proper app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]each way matched betting calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually shifted things for me were the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
