Right — been on this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/betting-margin]bookmaker margin calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually made a difference was the nerdier bits. The probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works 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.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
So — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky fifteen bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really shifted things for me was the geekier bits. The implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface feels a bit basic — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine although the bigger tables are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an each way return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it shows the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]accumulator matched betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really made a difference is the more serious extras. They’ve got an probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout looks pretty plain — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable though the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you even now adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
