So — been using this thing for maybe six 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. Am in the UK, mainly 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 pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/implied-probability]odds to implied probability[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really changed how I bet was the more serious extras. There’s an probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The interface looks a bit basic — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

So — been using this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an e/w return actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]each way bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really made a difference was the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
