Right — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way return would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in the price and your stake and it shows returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]acca calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually made a difference is the nerdier tools. They’ve got an probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels a bit basic — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
