Have you bet on card before because of the referee used for the match?

[Josefjix]

I have argued this on a thread before and not quite long, but maybe I am wrong. If you are not betting on sport like football, do not bother to choose either yes or no.

Since I have been betting, I have not thought of this before. Is the referee the reason you bet on yellow or red cards?

No, referee is never the reasons I bet on Red or yellow cards either, but let me understand your point either, are you really saying that gamblers bet on card options because of the referee officiating the match?

If that's your question then, NO. I don't bet on card because of the officiating ref, I bet on card because othe league that seems brutal on their style of play. For example, I go for Italian serie A because, Italian clubs end up having many cards before the end othe games.

It's totally wrong to place a bet on cards because of a particular ref, I'm talking out of experience I have tried it thrice and I failed, like honestly speaking this betting mostly this sport bet is just a thing of luck, if it gets to your lucky day then the sun will shine on you and you will smile, for me sport betting is kind of a definition of faith, you just predict and then hope and pray to your star it click that's all I can really say about this bet because I can't just beat my chest and say you can win a bet for one particular reason no it doesn't work that way, because some times we give ourselves reason for Manchester City to win a smaller team but at the end the opposite happens, Manchester City and al hilal good examples, who would believe it will go that way.

Before watching this thread, I did not pay any attention, nor did I notice, but now I realize how important the referee is and the role they play in card betting. Some referees are very aggressive, and they don't allow anything, even their hands are out of their pockets most of the time. In this case, your betting can change, but some are very polite, they don't show the cards much and stay calm. So, its also depend on who is standing on the ground, and when you bet, you better know the referee so that your status doesn't change and you can win easily.

For me, if I should bet on a yellow or red card to happen in a game probably two or three yellow cars or even one red card, it is basically because of the intensity of the game, especially those days that El clasico used to be very intense, when you have the likes of Sergio Ramos and peppe, eventually in that game having a good number of yellow cards and even probably a red will happen, so on that premise I can decide to easily predict that Madrid might have a good number of card. But if it's on a referee, I think is not possible to easily predict because you don't know what the referee might decide to do, some Ref can actually decide that they will not give any card in a certain game except there's an exceptional foul Play from a particular player which he as a Ref cannot not just let go.

[Findingnemo]

I only bet on the team that is going to win, whether it's A or B and going into particulars offers greater rewards but significantly reduces the chances of winning so why need to stress something which is already an uncertain?

But different individuals likes to enjoy different levels of risks so we can't bother about their choice but I won't do it and if I decide to then it won't be based on who is on the ground it will be justa a random number that comes to my mind which means no pressure, no regrets—just the thrill of the unknown gives more of a joy.

[Mrbluntzy]

This has never been an option for me and have not crossed my mind before, the different discussions that we have shared here about gambling options, I talked about using just the common market option, like home win, away win, underdog and, extra goal before the last minute. The betting on card is not as popular as those other options and I have not used it before.

[Z-tight]

I don't really gamble on the option of bookings in football betting, i find it too hard to get any idea on what would happen as regards players getting booked. However, i know there are referees who dish out cards more than others and for people who like this option, it may be something they consider. Though the ref may be hungry to book players, but it still depends on how the game pans out and what the players do on the field.

I have seen someone who bet on red card and yellow and he always win most of the especially on yellow card, but I have not stake in that form before, and I don't have the experience of how the odds look like, but it's risky than normal betting for me, instead of me to bet on cards I rather bet goal goal knowing that it's possible for both parties to score at least 1 goal for each team, I know that theirs no match without card but to calculate or know the total numbers of card to be received or given by the referees, I think it will be difficult from my perspective.

[Su-asa]

The referee can manipulate the game but as a gambler and you are hoping on the referee to blow the whistle for a yellow card or a red cards to be on your favor, I think you are not ready to win because even though the referee can manipulate the game, he or she won't do it frequently so he or she doesn't get suspicious. I hardly bet on cards options but if I want to bet on any of them, I chose from the statistics the teams that normally have cards on their games,

I think a referee will manipulate lower leagues matches and not the well know leagues. One of the reasons I do not prefer to go for lower leagues is because I think they can easily be manipulated. In those top leagues, referee will better stay neutral than to try to manipulate.

[Marykeller]

I haven't. If I have to, the referee shouldn't be the reason for that. I look for something else, how intense the match would be, like club rivals.

You know many at times, we bettors don't know much about the officiating referee's. We will be getting to see them on the match day. Whatever attitude they display will be base on the tempo of the match. If the match is to be aggressive we see it there. If it is less, we learn about it also there.

I would said that, referee reacts base on how matches are. You don't expect to see a referee treat a player who's aggressive with a soft hand without giving him a card that he deserves

This is why we have VAR available to help reduce these kinds of manipulations to some extent. I am not doubting that it is impossible for referees to manipulate these cards in their favour, but it is a very difficult thing to do and very risky too.

I don't bet on cards; I rather bet on the players, the teams, and the outcome of the game. This is more entertaining and realistic too. Other gamblers may be good at betting on cards, but it is not my thing.

[$weetne$$]

I do not even bother to know much about  the refree in most cases so that almost do not cross my mind,  the refere is usually not my reason to betbon card, usually I look at the teams card history,  their opponents strength and the possible thing at stake for that particular game then I gauge the possibility of having  a certain number of cards from that game because most of the time the ref may not be the problem but the players may become too brutal because they are been desperate to win and that could affect the way the play and by extensions the number of expected cards.

[len01]

I often bet on the number of cards in matches between teams that are difficult to predict, typically when a big team faces another popular or equally strong team. For example, in a FIFA Club World Cup match between PSG and Bayern Munich, both teams are top tier and eager to advance to the next round, making the outcome hard to predict. Since their performance levels and player quality are quite similar, I prefer to bet on total cards in the match, such as over 4.5. In high stakes games like these, both teams push hard to gain the upper hand, which usually results in more fouls and, consequently, more cards. However, I rarely place card bets in matches where the outcome is easier to predict.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Those who are big fans of football, fans who try to watch most of the matches, probably also know many referees who, having their priorities and habits, hand out red and yellow cards. A referee is a person with his character, and sometimes some are loyal in assessing matches, while others, with every violation, or even a "sideways glance" at the referee, not to mention any objections to his opinion, immediately pull out cards. Therefore, perhaps those who know such hot guys as referees can assume the expected distribution of cards and predict such bets.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I bet on cards, but never consider the referee who leads the match. Maybe there are also bettors who analyze the referee who will lead the match before the match starts, but I don't really pay attention to that point.
I bet on cards when matches that could be said to be big matches. like a rivalry match between the two teams that has been going on for a long time. Of course, there will be emotion in the match, not only from the fans, but also from the players from both teams. It is very possible to bet on cards.

You are right @Pandu Geddon,  neither have I bet on cards because of the referee leading the match, few times I have bet on cards in a match, my analysis is usually based on how tough the both teams are and like you already said, theirs going to be emotions and therefore I conclude that there's definitely going to be a certain number of red card for either team 'A' or 'B' depending on what I want to bet on. Referee does not just give red or yellow card when there's no cause for it, it is the teams that are playing that causes the cards to come up.

Honestly speaking, I have never place a bet on both options since I started playing gambling. However, it is only on the contest that I normally do such predictions, even though is quite different from this one. Although is almost the same thing, where we normally predict the minutes of first yellow card and this has always been very difficult to predict it correctly. To be frank this is the option that I normally avoid in gambling.

Yes, it makes sense that there are referees who are more inclined to give out cards during a match. But I don't think you should base your choice only on the referee. You also need to look at which teams are playing. If the teams often receive more cards than average, and they are being officiated by a referee, who tends to show a lot of cards, then yes you can consider such a bet. But I believe the bookmaker will also lower the odds or increase the total number of cards for such matches, so it is not that simple.

I don't actually bet on yellow or red cards but I have friends that do bet on that and they told me the reason why they bet on cards is not necessarily because of the referee but rather because of the club that are playing each other and if you check very well there are teams that like playing rough and there is no way, you will bet on them that they will not give you close or exactly what you play them but even as that I still don't know how to check it and I think the reason is because I'm not interested or I don't like the option because every sports gambler have there favorite option(s) they do play. And yes sometimes referee is also one of the reason some people play this option because there are some referee that don't tolerate, any slight mistake they will give card.

It's a clever thought and every referee will have an average yellow/red cards per match statistic which should theoretically be included in the odds that a bookmaker is offering. However it has to be blended with more than just the ref, some teams will play very cleanly with an emphasis on avoiding cards, while others have a reputation for playing very rough. I'd say it's more important to look at the likelihood of particular players getting a card rather than the ref - as they are probably playing more dirty and will be a magnetic for cards. Referees are also probably monitored by the official organisations and will be encouraged to stay within a certain range - so as not to create too many or too few in comparison to other refs.
