OK — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I could never work out what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly calculator betting[/url] — free, no signup.
What really made a difference is the nerdier extras. The odds-to-probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface feels pretty plain — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
