These are Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea'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 Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea give per game?

Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea averages 4.32 cards a game across 84 La Liga matches — 11% below the league average of 4.86. On a Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea appointment, the model multiplies every player's booking chance by 0.89.

Is Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea a strict referee?

Slightly, yes. The honest measure is foul-to-card conversion — the share of fouls that become bookings — and Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea runs at 19.6% 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 Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea'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 Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea's card rate?

It rests on 84 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.
