      OK — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.

      The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.

      The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in stake and odds and you get returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]vig calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.

      The thing that really changed how I bet was the geekier extras. There’s an implied probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.

      Couple of gripes. Its design is a bit basic — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.

      So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

        OK — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.

        How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.

        The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows the return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]irish lotto bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.

        The thing that really changed how I bet was the more serious extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m splitting a race.

        It’s not perfect mind. The design is pretty plain — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.

        Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
