Right — been on this thing for about six months now and it's stuck on my phone, so figured I'd write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I'm in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I'm coming from.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn't ever get my head round what an each way payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I'd wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in stake and odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it's here [url=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly bet calculator[/url] and it's free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually shifted things for me were the geekier extras. There's an odds-to-probability thing which shows you how much the bookie's taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I'm covering two or three runners.
It's not perfect mind. The layout looks pretty plain — zero flash, which honestly I don't mind but some will. Phone-wise it's fine though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it's a website and that's it — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it's saved me a load of "wait, that's it?" moments.
