So — been using this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting oddsmatcher free[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout is a bit basic — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works although the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
