Right — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way payout would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]each way bet calc[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. The implied probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is decent when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout is a bit basic — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
