Right — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out the return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]bet matching calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really made a difference was the nerdier extras. There’s an implied probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine though the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
