Right — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I never could figure out what an e/w return actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]irish lotto trixie bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really made a difference is the nerdier bits. The odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you even now adds it up in their head, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

So — been using this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could work out what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability sports betting[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely made a difference was the geekier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows the overround, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The design is very functional, let’s say — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.

Right — been using this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]work out lucky 63[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually changed how I bet is the geekier extras. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout feels pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
