OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could figure out what an ew return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it shows the return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]how many bets in a super heinz[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually changed how I bet was the more serious bits. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you the overround, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The design looks pretty plain — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.

Right — been on this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could work out what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in stake and odds and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk]kalkulator single bet[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the nerdier tools. There’s an implied probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
