So — been using this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I'd chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I'm based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I couldn't ever work out what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I'd just guess and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return instantly, either odds format. There's also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it's here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]each way betting calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious tools. The probability converter that shows what margin's baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent for when I'm spreading across selections.
It's not perfect mind. Its design is pretty plain — zero flash, which honestly I don't mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the bigger tables are a squeeze. There's no proper app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn't cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone still does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me plenty of dumb bets I'd have regretted.
OK — been on this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I'd chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I'm UK based, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that's where I'd always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/implied-probability]betting probability[/url] and it's free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really shifted things for me is the more serious bits. They've got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious what margin's baked in, and there's the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I'm covering two or three runners.
It's not perfect mind. Its layout is pretty plain — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works but the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there's no app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that's me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I'd chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. I'm UK based, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I'd eyeball it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in stake and odds and you get returns with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it's here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/patent]permed patent bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually changed how I bet were the more serious extras. The implied probability converter which shows you how much the bookie's taking, plus a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I'm covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The design looks pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don't mind but some will. On my phone it works though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it's browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
OK — been on this thing for something like four months now and it's stuck on my phone, so figured I'd say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I couldn't ever figure out what an ew return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.

What actually changed how I bet was the more serious bits. They've got an odds-to-probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent when I'm splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design looks pretty plain — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it's fine but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there's nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn't bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few dumb bets I'd have regretted.

How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.

What really made a difference was the geekier bits. There's an probability thing which shows you how much the bookie's taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I'm covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface is a bit basic — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There's no proper app, it's browser only — doesn't bother me but you asked.
Right, that's me. Doesn't cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few "wait, that's it?" moments.
