OK — been on this thing for something like four months now and it's stuck on my phone, reckon I'd chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. I'm UK based, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I'm coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never figure out what an e/w return actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I'd guess and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in stake and odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn't matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that's where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it's here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]betting probability[/url] and it's free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually made a difference were the geekier bits. There's an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too when I'm splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is a bit basic — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there's no app, it's a website and that's it — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn't cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few "wait, that's it?" moments.
