Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am UK based, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I could never work out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]accumulator betting calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually shifted things for me was the more serious bits. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface feels a bit basic — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
