OK — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]oddsmatcher calculator free[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The design looks a bit basic — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
