Career profile
The two numbers that matter are vs league — the multiplier the model applies to a player's booking chance — and conversion, the share of fouls Graham Scott turns into bookings. Conversion, not the raw foul count, is where a referee's real card tendency lives. Career figures across every Championship season on record.

Frequently asked
How many cards does Graham Scott give per game?
Graham Scott averages 4.50 cards a game across 20 Championship matches — 12% above the league average of 4.01. On a Graham Scott appointment, the model multiplies every player's booking chance by 1.12.
Is Graham Scott a strict referee?
Yes. The honest measure is foul-to-card conversion — the share of fouls that become bookings — and Graham Scott runs at 21.4% against a league average of 18.4%. Foul counts barely vary between officials; the rate at which a foul becomes a booking is where referees genuinely differ.
Does Graham Scott'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 Graham Scott's card rate?
It rests on 20 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.
