Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]calculate vig[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels a bit basic — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you even now does the maths on paper, try it — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never work out what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type 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, a lucky 15, a yankee, 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/lucky-15]betfred lucky 15 bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the nerdier bits. The implied probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — been using this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odd converter[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really made a difference were the nerdier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks 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 acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for about five 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, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched bet finder[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the more serious extras. The implied probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]bet calculator trixie[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually made a difference was the more serious extras. The implied probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The layout is very functional, let’s say — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
