Right — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an ew payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/yankee]yankee odds calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely changed how I bet were the geekier extras. The implied probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels pretty plain — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
