Right — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — type in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]decimal odds converter[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually made a difference was the nerdier tools. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels pretty plain — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.

Right — been on this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never figure out what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]odds calculator matched betting[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually made a difference was the geekier tools. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.

OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w return actually came to 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 tool is the one I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]gambling odds converter[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious bits. The probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The design looks pretty plain — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
