Time of first card market

[christo85efc]

Hi all,

I don't know if anyone remembers but i started a thread this time 2 years ago for the World cup looking into the time of first booking. It proved quite profitable at the start as referees were told to take a firm stance on fouls/play acting/simulation etc.

From what i have heard for the Euros, the same sort of stance has been taken too and from watching the first 3 matches (which i used as a 'dummy run') i can certainly see that they aren't shy of showing the cards. From the 3 games we have seen 2 early bookings (both in the 4th minute) and i can see this trend appearing in many more.

So from this evenings game i will bet for real, and i think its a good game to start in with the Germany vs Poland match, a sort of derby if you will!

[B]Time of first card - Up to and including 25th minute @ 10/11 5pts[/B]

Are you a Newcastle fan Clarky?

Shame about the first bet, there certainly should have been a card for Podolski for simulation but the ref was leniant, grr, and its been a well tempered game - damnit!

Indeed i am Christo, & the Greek ref in the Euro's is the one to look out for as his card stats are almost [B]TREBLE [/B]anyone else's.....

Didnt have time to place a bet on the France vs Romania game, but will be on the Holland vs Italy one.

Italy vs Holland is already a crucial match in temrs of who will look good for qualification and so i think we will see a full blooded encounter from the start and so i will take the under bet in this one. Italy have their fair share of, to put it nicely, grass lovers and also some really hard tackling players in Materazzi, Gattuso, De Rossi to name a few. Generous line on bet365 up to the 26th minute.

[B]Up To And Including 26th Minute @ 17/20 10pts[/B]

I also remember you!! I specially remember that after you won many of these bets the bookie "moved the goalposts" (using your own words here) and slashed about 5 minutes of the 1st card time but you kept winning anyway.

Quick question: which bookie are you using to place this bet? You mention bet365 but I took a lok there and I was unable to find the bet.

Hi mate, sorry bout the delay,

Been sunning myself in Newquay with no access to the internet, the first two bets were losers (second by a minute).

I use bet365, the market is there. Will have a look to make sure again tomorrow.

Cheers.

Fiesty game between the [B]french and the italians[/B] predicted, plenty to play for and will be edgy from the start and my money goes on:

[B]Time of first card - Up To And Including 25th Minute @ 4/5[/B]

Will also bet on the early card in the other game too, [B]Romania[/B] with something big to play for against [B]Holland[/B] reserves, and Holland reserves looking to impress for a regular first team place. Huge line also.

[B]Time of first card - Up To And Including 29th Minute @ 10/11[/B]
