So — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout would be when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/treble]treble accumulator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely made a difference were the geekier bits. The probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The design feels a bit basic — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
