OK — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone 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.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]each way bet calc[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely shifted things for me were the more serious bits. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface looks very functional, let’s say — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
