So — been using this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am based 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 actually a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, and 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/matched-betting]matched bet finder[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the more serious tools. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks pretty plain — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.

OK — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never figure out what an ew payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]sports odds converter[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator that shows the overround, 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 handy too if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The design is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, works. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
