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 a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]how to calculate implied probability with fractional odds[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely changed how I bet was the nerdier bits. There’s an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The design looks a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable though the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

Right — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, 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 here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]calculate lucky 63[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually changed how I bet is the geekier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks pretty plain — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an ew payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]betfred lucky 15 calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really shifted things for me were the more serious extras. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is pretty plain — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

OK — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w payout would be when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]bet matching calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the more serious extras. There’s an implied probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface is a bit basic — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never work out what an each way return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.

It’s not perfect mind. The interface feels a bit basic — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you still does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

So — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.

The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.

Couple of gripes. Its interface looks pretty plain — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
