Sure Predictions to have at least 4 Bookings
Over 3.5 bookings, this option is also called over 3.5 cards in some bookies, however it simply means the match will have atleast 4 Cards or 4 Booking points, these cards could be yellow cards or red cards.
In football when a player commits a foul deemed too harsh to be overlooked he is shown a red card, however if a player repeats commits another foul, he also could be shown another card which in turn results in a Red card, and the player gets sent off from the pitch.
Interesting factors about bookings in a game, there are lots of key factors to look at when playing cards in sports betting, this includes:
The league
In some leagues cards flow everywhere like rainfall whereas in some leagues you sweat yourself out just to see a referee issue out a single yellow card.
Some leagues consider some fouls not card worthy whereas other leagues consider some even very light tackles to be card worthy.
Leagues such as Serie-A and La Liga have been known to be leagues where cards pour down like manna from heaven, where as in the bundesliga bookings aren't that common, in the English premier league, betting on cards is indeed tricky because it could go either way, and the referee involved plays a major part in the number of cards shown.
Another truly interesting factor is how much cards are shown to coaches and staff alike, this feature is very common in La liga and Serie-A, as more often than not managers are shown yellow cards and in some cases they are even sent to the stands.
The Referee
In La Ligayellow cards are truly common, in fact it is hilarious sometimes as you see games having up to 10 bookings,a newbie in football might think the aim of soccer in spain is yellow cards.
Some Referees average five (5) cards per game, this is no joke as sometimes in a single incident up to 3 players could work away with bookings, one team very known for having lots of bookings is Atletico Madrid, there it rains cards due to their anti-football playing pattern, a team that decides to sit at the back and hit opponents on a counter will usually end up with lots of bookings.
One game in Spain that comes home with a high record of booking is the biggest game in the league, The El Clasico Barcelona VS Real Madrid, although the game might not house some of the biggest stars in football like it used to, cards is stll something that is ever present in this encounter, no wonder it averages 6 cards per game and at least 1 red card in every 4 encounter in the last 15 years.

Free Bet9ja Yellow Card Predictions
Booking is one very constant element in football because, football games are meant to have tackles, and a tackle deemed too rugged is considered a foul, and a foul deemed too rugged is penalized by a free kick and a yellow / red card as the case may be. Indeed bookings shouldn't be that hard to find in games, but do not be deceived, every game has its intensity and that in turn goes a long way in determining if the match will have bookings or not.
A football match between two teams who play with high intensity is a good game to stake on bookings, you could even do a combo of cards and corner kicks, such games includes a match between two bitter rivals, or two title challengers or a tough relegation battle, such games are bound to have cards unlike games where both teams don't really have anything at stake.
