OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. Am in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I never could figure out what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in the price and your stake and it shows returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how much is a 50p each way lucky 15[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually changed how I bet was the more serious extras. There’s an probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

So — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability sports betting[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually shifted things for me was the geekier tools. The implied probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks pretty plain — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works but the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If you honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
