OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you put in stake and odds and it shows the return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds format converter[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really changed how I bet were the more serious bits. The probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The interface is pretty plain — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, works. If anyone still adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never figure out what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in stake and odds and you get returns with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/patent]calculate a patent bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really made a difference were the geekier tools. There’s an probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks a bit basic — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone still adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
Right — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something 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, for context.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and you get returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]fractional kelly calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually changed how I bet is the more serious tools. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The layout is a bit basic — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If you still adds it up in their head, try it — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
