So — been using this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.

The single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]smarkets[/url] — free, no signup.

The thing that actually shifted things for me were the more serious extras. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.

Not all sunshine though. Its interface feels very functional, let’s say — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.

So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
