OK — been on this thing for about four months now and it's basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I'd write something up since someone asked me a few days back. I'm UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows returns with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that's where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it's here <a href=https://freebet-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting>matched betting matcher</a> and there's no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually made a difference was the more serious bits. There's an probability thing which shows you how much the bookie's taking, and a kelly calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent for when I'm covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is pretty plain — no frills, it's clearly function over form. On mobile it's usable but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There's no app, just the site — doesn't bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
