So — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew payout would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — type in your stake, the odds and you get returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]work out each way bet[/url] — free, no signup.
What really shifted things for me was the geekier bits. The probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design looks pretty plain — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works although the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, try it — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
