How do cards markets work in soccer betting?
Cards markets are bets on yellow and red cards in a match, often using booking points where a yellow counts as 10 and a red as 25. You can bet on total cards, team cards or whether a specific player is booked.

Rules differ on how a second yellow followed by a red is counted, and many sportsbooks ignore cards shown to coaches, players on the bench or anyone after the final whistle. Most sportsbooks settle cards markets on regular time only; always check the operator's rules.
For example, over 4.5 total cards might be 1.90 (-111). If the match has four yellows and one straight red, the count is five and the bet wins. In a booking points market using the 10 and 25 system, the same match would score 65 points.
The referee matters as much as the teams. Card averages differ by official, league and type of match, with derbies and relegation battles often busier. Late lineup changes and a referee's style can make these markets volatile, so keep stakes modest.
