So — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]ew calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really shifted things for me were the geekier extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The layout looks very functional, let’s say — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
