lets talk about cards
a lot of US books wont have these markets but I've always made money on card betting in world cups, its very predictable. Without wanting to offend anyone, african teams defend clumsily, there's always a high proportion of cards involving african teams and south american teams are hot headed and love to roll around or "flop" getting the ref to give cards to the opposition. I will be "buying" card totals in all of those continents ' games.
some examples Uruguay's 18 qualifying games produced 90 cards at an average of 5
, Colombia games produced 105 cards at just over 6.5 per game. Colombia received three red cards in their 16 qualifiers
Chile's disciplinary problems surfaced again in qualifying with two straight red cards being picked up, plus 33 bookings.
Ivory Coast's eight qualification games produced 31 cards in total at nearly 3.9 per game. Ivory Coast received 20 of those cards, all of which were yellows.
FIFA tells refs to clamp down at the start of every world cup, the total yellow card count is 278, thats actually a little high but i wouldnt play the under but i will back Over 17.5 red cards, i can see a total in the 20's with tired defenders bringing down attackers in the hot conditions.
