Frequently asked
How many cards does José Luis Munuera Montero give per game?
José Luis Munuera Montero averages 4.96 cards a game across 80 La Liga matches — roughly above the league average of 4.86. On a José Luis Munuera Montero appointment, the model multiplies every player's booking chance by 1.02.
Is José Luis Munuera Montero a strict referee?
About average. The honest measure is foul-to-card conversion — the share of fouls that become bookings — and José Luis Munuera Montero runs at 19.4% against a league average of 19.1%. 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 80 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 and an opponent factor, and discounts its confidence for thin referee records, before flagging any card as value. It compares against the bookmaker's price as offered — card markets are priced one side only, so that price still carries the bookmaker's margin. 18+ — please gamble responsibly.
