OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows the return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]how to work out an each way bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually made a difference were the more serious bits. They’ve got an probability calculator that shows the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

OK — been using this thing for maybe five 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 based in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I never could figure out what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — type in stake and odds and it spits out the return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]each way single bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really shifted things for me is the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface is very functional, let’s say — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you even now adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
