OK — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]calculate yankee bet[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually made a difference was the nerdier tools. The probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
