OK — been on this thing for about four months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I'd chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn't ever work out what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I'd eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I'm on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out the return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I'd always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it's over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]european odds converter[/url] and it's free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely shifted things for me is the more serious tools. They've got an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie's taking, and there's the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent when I'm splitting a race.
It's not perfect mind. The design is a bit basic — zero frills, it's clearly function over form. On my phone it works although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there's no app, it's a website and that's it — doesn't bother me just flagging it.
Right, that's me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. If anyone still adds it up in their head, have a look — it's saved me a fair few dumb bets I'd have regretted.
OK — been on this thing for something like four months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I'd write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I could never figure out what an ew payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out returns instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that's where I'd always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/dutch]dutch bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually made a difference were the more serious extras. There's an implied probability thing that shows what margin's baked in, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent for when I'm spreading across selections.
It's not perfect mind. The design looks a bit basic — no polish, it's clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that's me. Doesn't cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a load of "wait, that's it?" moments.
Right — been on this thing for maybe five months now and it's stuck on my phone, so thought I'd chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. I'm based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that's where I'd always lose track.

The thing that actually shifted things for me were the more serious extras. They've got an odds-to-probability converter that shows how much the bookie's taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I'm splitting a race.
It's not perfect mind. The interface feels pretty plain — zero frills, which honestly I don't mind but some will. Phone-wise it works although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a load of "wait, that's it?" moments.
Right — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it's stuck on my phone, so figured I'd write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I'm on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it's over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]no-vig fair odds calculator[/url] and there's no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually made a difference were the geekier extras. The implied probability calculator which shows you the overround, and there's the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I'm spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels a bit basic — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it's fine though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no app, it's a website and that's it — doesn't bother me but worth saying.
Right, that's me. Doesn't cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it's saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
So — been using this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, so figured I'd write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I'm based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn't ever figure out what an e/w payout actually was when the place terms changed. I'd just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and you get returns straight away, fractions or decimals.
