Frequently asked
How many cards does Antonio Rapuano give per game?
Antonio Rapuano averages 4.76 cards a game across 50 Serie A matches — 13% above the league average of 4.21. When he's appointed, the model multiplies every player's booking chance by 1.13.
Is Antonio Rapuano a strict referee?
Slightly, yes. The honest measure is foul-to-card conversion — the share of fouls he turns into bookings — and Antonio Rapuano runs at 18.8% against a league average of 17.0%. Foul counts barely vary between officials; the rate at which a foul becomes a booking is where referees genuinely differ.
Does Antonio Rapuano'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 Rapuano's card rate?
It rests on 50 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.
