Right — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and you get returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied odds[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier tools. There’s an implied probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The design is a bit basic — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
