Frequently asked
How many cards does Ruebyn Ricardo give per game?
Ruebyn Ricardo averages 4.84 cards a game across 25 Championship matches — 21% above the league average of 4.01. On a Ruebyn Ricardo appointment, the model multiplies every player's booking chance by 1.21.
Is Ruebyn Ricardo a strict referee?
Yes. The honest measure is foul-to-card conversion — the share of fouls that become bookings — and Ruebyn Ricardo runs at 21.3% 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 Ruebyn Ricardo'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 Ruebyn Ricardo's card rate?
It rests on 25 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.
