So — been on this thing for something like five months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I'd chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I'm coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I'm on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it shows returns instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it's over at <a>free bet calculator</a> and it's free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely changed how I bet is the nerdier extras. There's an probability converter which shows you the overround, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I'm covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout feels very functional, let's say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it's a website and that's it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a fair few dumb bets I'd have regretted.
