Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I'd chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. I'm 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 get my head round what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I'm on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and you get the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that's where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it's here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/yankee]yankee calculator bet[/url] and it's free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely shifted things for me is the nerdier tools. They've got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie's taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I'm covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design is a bit basic — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works but the acca grid are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn't bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn't cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it's saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
OK — been on this thing for about five months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I'd chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I'm in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I'm coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I never could figure out what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I'd wing it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I'm on daily — type in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always got it wrong.

The thing that really changed how I bet was the geekier tools. They've got an probability converter that shows the overround, and there's the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I'm splitting a race.
It's not perfect mind. Its interface feels pretty plain — not much frills, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On my phone it's usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And no app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that's me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me plenty of "wait, that's it?" moments.
So — been on this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I'd write something up since someone asked me last week. I'm in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I'm coming from.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn't ever figure out what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I'd just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that's where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it's over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/yankee]yankee bet return calculator[/url] and there's no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really shifted things for me was the geekier extras. There's an implied probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie's taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I'm spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its design feels pretty plain — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it's fine but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there's no app, it's browser only — doesn't bother me but worth saying.
Right, that's me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a fair few "wait, that's it?" moments.
So — been using this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so figured I'd chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I'd just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns instantly, fractions or decimals. There's also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that's where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]accumulator odds calculator[/url] and it's free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually shifted things for me was the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious what margin's baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I'm covering two or three runners.
It's not perfect mind. Its interface is very functional, let's say — zero frills, it's clearly function over form. On my phone it works but the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there's no proper app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me plenty of "wait, that's it?" moments.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and it's stuck on my phone, reckon I'd say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I'm coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never work out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I'd just wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I'm on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There's also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, honestly that's where I'd always lose track.
