How To Use Ligue 1 Referee Stats for Betting
Now that you know how the table works, we can discuss the real deal — betting using the stats. The stats are pretty comprehensive but are most useful when betting on cards. Below are a few ways to do so.
-
Player cards — Referee stats can be used to determine whether the official involved gives many cards. If they do, you can bet on more players getting carded. Obviously, betting on players who get yellow cards often is ideal.
-
Booking points — With so many red cards shown by referees in Ligue 1, booking points could be perfect as matches tend to reach higher points. The same is true for most over/under betting markets.
-
Fouls — The biggest matches will have odds on the number of fouls per player and in total. If referees stop play for every fall, betting on fouls is an excellent option. Looking into our football tackle stats would offer even more value.
-
Red cards — Since sending-offs are pretty common in Ligue 1, betting on red cards might be more worth it here. When looking at Stephanie Frappart referee stats, it’s clear she’s not afraid to show a red card, handing one once every three games.
Besides the obvious card betting markets, you can also use the stats to bet on penalties and free kick markets. If a ref stops play for many fouls, the odds that one could lead to a free kick goal become significantly higher.
Penalties are self-explanatory; if a referee isn’t afraid to give a penalty for a light tackle, they’ll give more of them. Penalty stats can be found directly on the stats table, so extracting data is straightforward.
