These are Iosu Galech Apezteguia's own match figures — the raw card and foul counts in games he took charge of. They're not adjusted for how aggressive the two teams are or whether it's a derby. The model layers those in — the referee tendency, each player's booking rate and an opponent card-induction factor — to price a specific leg. That combined verdict is the locked price · edge.

Frequently asked

How many cards does Iosu Galech Apezteguia give per game?

Iosu Galech Apezteguia averages 5.11 cards a game across 19 La Liga matches — 5% above the league average of 4.88. When he's appointed, the model multiplies every player's booking chance by 1.05.

Is Iosu Galech Apezteguia a strict referee?

No — slightly more lenient than most. The honest measure is foul-to-card conversion — the share of fouls he turns into bookings — and Iosu Galech Apezteguia runs at 17.8% against a league average of 19.2%. Foul counts barely vary between officials; the rate at which a foul becomes a booking is where referees genuinely differ.

Does Iosu Galech Apezteguia'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 Iosu Galech Apezteguia's card rate?

It rests on 19 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.
