So — been using this thing for about a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/treble]trebles bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely made a difference was the geekier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is pretty plain — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable although the acca grid are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
