OK — been on this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never figure out what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting formula[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely made a difference was the geekier tools. The odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks pretty plain — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works though the acca grid are a squeeze. And no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.

OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]calculate yankee bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the nerdier tools. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The design feels very functional, let’s say — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
