Right — been using this thing for something like four months now and it's stuck on my phone, so figured I'd say something since someone asked me the other day. I'm UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I couldn't ever work out what an ew payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There's also the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that's where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it's here <a href=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting>matched betting calculators</a> and there's no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really shifted things for me was the nerdier extras. There's an probability converter that shows what margin's baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too if I'm splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design is very functional, let's say — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it's usable although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
