Betting on Bookings

In the same way that betting on Corners makes good sense, betting on Cards/Bookings Points can be a reliable money maker - because success often relies on the 'character' of a team, which often remains constant whether they win or lose.

Aggressive teams pick up lots of Bookings, regardless of form. This gives Booking Points/ Cards bets a degree of 'shock-proof' reliability – and that should music to every bettor's ears.

Note: Most bookmakers use the same 'points' system for Bookings:

Yellow Card = 10 points
Red Card = 25 points
2 Yellows resulting in an automatic Red = 35 points

Alternatively, Bet365 bet on 'Cards' – using the following distinction…

Yellow Card = 1 card
Red Card = 2 cards

Total Booking Points

Under 35	5/6
Over 35	5/6
(Exactly 35	6/1)

Bet Guide

This is a bet on the total number of Bookings Points accumulated by both teams. The marker will generally vary between 30 and 50. This is a straightforward bet on the total being Under or Over that marker.

Under 21	11/5
21 – 45	2/1
Over 46	11/10

Bet Guide

Some bookies prefer to provide three 'bands' – restricting the options, but offering better odds.

There are five ways that you can win with this middle banding (21-45), if the total value of cards comes to any of the following: 25, 30, 35, 40, or 45.

And there are six card combinations that could produce those five totals…

1 Red = 25
3 Yellows = 30
1 Yellow/Yellow Red = 35
1 Red and 1 Yellow – 35
4 Yellows = 40
2 Yellows and 1 Red = 45

Alternatively, some bookmakers will offer markets on Cards…

Number of Cards in a Match

Under 3.5	5/6
Over 3.5	5/6

Bet Guide

Some bookmakers bet on purely the number of Cards – including both Yellow and Red. The marker will usually be set around 3.5 – 5.5 Cards and you can bet Under or Over that marker. (Of course, there is no such thing as 0.5 of a card, this simply means all bets have to go Under or Over.
