Right — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I never could work out what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly calculator sports betting[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really made a difference were the nerdier extras. There’s an probability calculator that shows the overround, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design looks pretty plain — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.

So — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]accumulator calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely shifted things for me is the geekier bits. There’s an implied probability thing that shows the overround, and a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable though the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
