So — been on this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. I’m in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]trixie betting calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually changed how I bet is the geekier extras. The probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its layout feels pretty plain — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
