So — been on this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and you get the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]match betting odds finder[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually shifted things for me was the geekier bits. They’ve got an probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels pretty plain — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I could never figure out what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]bet accumulator calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really made a difference is the more serious extras. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The layout is pretty plain — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works though the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/betting-margin]spread betting margin calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually changed how I bet were the nerdier tools. The implied probability thing which shows you the overround, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The design is a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you even now does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
