OK — been using this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and you get returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting odds calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually changed how I bet were the geekier bits. They’ve got an probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The design feels a bit basic — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

So — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier bits. They’ve got an implied probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout feels very functional, let’s say — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine although the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If you still does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

Right — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in stake and odds and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com]ew single bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually shifted things for me was the more serious extras. The implied probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is pretty plain — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

So — been on this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, 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, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could work out what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]vig calc[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually shifted things for me was the nerdier tools. The implied probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The interface is a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
