Frequently asked
How many cards does José Luis Munuera Montero give per game?
José Luis Munuera Montero averages 5.04 cards a game across 76 La Liga matches — 3% above the league average of 4.88. When he's appointed, the model multiplies every player's booking chance by 1.03.
Is José Luis Munuera Montero a strict referee?
He's about average. The honest measure is foul-to-card conversion — the share of fouls he turns into bookings — and José Luis Munuera Montero runs at 19.5% 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 José Luis Munuera Montero'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 José Luis Munuera Montero's card rate?
It rests on 76 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.
