Right — 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 mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I could never work out what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/double]bet calculator double[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really shifted things for me was the geekier tools. There’s an implied probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels a bit basic — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone still adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
