So — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could work out what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]accumulator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually made a difference was the nerdier tools. The implied probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
So — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and you get profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com]single cal[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really shifted things for me were the geekier bits. They’ve got an probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is a bit basic — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and you get returns instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion odds calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really changed how I bet is the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
