So — been on this thing for maybe four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]work out lucky 15[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually shifted things for me was the nerdier bits. The implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The design is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.

OK — been on this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could work out what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/treble]ew treble calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the geekier tools. The implied probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels pretty plain — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
