Frequently asked
How many cards does Matthias Jollenbeck give per game?
Matthias Jollenbeck averages 4.00 cards a game across 52 Bundesliga matches — roughly below the league average of 4.09. On a Matthias Jollenbeck appointment, the model multiplies every player's booking chance by 0.98.
Is Matthias Jollenbeck a strict referee?
About average. The honest measure is foul-to-card conversion — the share of fouls that become bookings — and Matthias Jollenbeck runs at 18.8% against a league average of 18.5%. Foul counts barely vary between officials; the rate at which a foul becomes a booking is where referees genuinely differ.
Does Matthias Jollenbeck's record change bet builder card prices?
It should. The referee is the single biggest factor in the to-be-carded market, and the appointment is public before kick-off — so a strict official on a combative player is the archetypal card edge. The player cards guide walks through exactly how the model turns a tendency like this into a price.
How reliable is Matthias Jollenbeck's card rate?
It rests on 52 career matches, a solid record. The model shrinks a referee's tendency toward the league average when the sample is thin and discounts its own confidence for officials with young records, so a number like this never gets trusted beyond what the evidence earns.
Rates shown are figures from public match data for context; the model adds shrinkage, an opponent factor and de-vigging, and discounts its confidence for thin referee records, before flagging any card as value. 18+ — please gamble responsibly.
