These are Juan Luis Pulido Santana's own match figures — the raw card and foul counts from the matches covered. 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 and edge.

Frequently asked

How many cards does Juan Luis Pulido Santana give per game?

Juan Luis Pulido Santana averages 5.24 cards a game across 55 La Liga matches — 8% above the league average of 4.86. On a Juan Luis Pulido Santana appointment, the model multiplies every player's booking chance by 1.08.

Is Juan Luis Pulido Santana a strict referee?

Slightly, yes. The honest measure is foul-to-card conversion — the share of fouls that become bookings — and Juan Luis Pulido Santana runs at 20.1% 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 Juan Luis Pulido Santana'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 Juan Luis Pulido Santana's card rate?

It rests on 55 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.
