OK — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter]bet converter odds[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely shifted things for me was the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is pretty plain — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If you honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

So — been using this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could figure out what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky15 calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really changed how I bet was the geekier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you the overround, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout is a bit basic — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
