Frequently asked
How many cards does Ivano Pezzuto give per game?
Ivano Pezzuto averages 4.38 cards a game across 8 Serie A matches — 4% above the league average of 4.21. That's a raw rate from only 8 matches, so the model shrinks it toward the league average rather than trusting it outright.
Is Ivano Pezzuto a strict referee?
He's about average. The honest measure is foul-to-card conversion — the share of fouls he turns into bookings — and Ivano Pezzuto runs at 17.2% 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 Ivano Pezzuto'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 Ivano Pezzuto's card rate?
It rests on 8 career matches, still a thin sample — read it gently. 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.
