Frequently asked
How many cards does Antonio Giua give per game?
Antonio Giua averages 4.78 cards a game across 27 Serie A matches — 14% above the league average of 4.19. On an Antonio Giua appointment, the model multiplies every player's booking chance by 1.14.
Is Antonio Giua a strict referee?
Yes. The honest measure is foul-to-card conversion — the share of fouls that become bookings — and Antonio Giua runs at 20.7% against a league average of 16.9%. Foul counts barely vary between officials; the rate at which a foul becomes a booking is where referees genuinely differ.
Does Antonio Giua'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 Antonio Giua's card rate?
It rests on 27 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.
