OK — been on this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/treble]trebles calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really shifted things for me were the nerdier tools. There’s an implied probability converter which shows you the overround, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design looks pretty plain — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable but the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, works. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
