So — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I could never 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. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really changed how I bet was the nerdier tools. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The layout feels a bit basic — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still adds it up in their head, try it — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

So — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an ew payout actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting automatcher[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually made a difference is the geekier extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable but the acca grid are a squeeze. And no proper app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/treble]what is a treble bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the geekier bits. There’s an probability converter that shows the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks pretty plain — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in stake and odds and it shows returns instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied odds[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely shifted things for me was the nerdier extras. The probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels pretty plain — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.

OK — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds converter sports[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

Couple of gripes. The interface looks pretty plain — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
