So — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an ew payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly formula calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually made a difference is the more serious tools. They’ve got an probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks pretty plain — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, works. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
