Betting on card markets is one of the most popular ways to make money when betting on football. Different bookmakers often display the same markets differently. Some bookmakers, like Bet365, will display markets in a familiar and readable way. For example, “+3.5 Cards: Yes or No”. Other bookmakers, like SkyBet, adopt the “Booking Points” approach.
Booking Points Meaning
Booking Points in football card betting is the bookmakers way of assigning points to each booking that occurs in the match. A fixture will then have a booking points total at any given time and bettors are able to place bets on this total, rather than the number of cards.
Here’s how the SkyBet Booking Points work:
- Yellow Card = 10 Points
- Red Card = 25 Points
If a player receives two yellow cards, he or she will amass 35 points for your bet. So, if you’re betting on booking points and need more for your bet, then two yellows is more beneficial than a straight red card.
