OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I could never figure out what an ew payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]calculate vig[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually shifted things for me is the nerdier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is pretty plain — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone still adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
