Ok, let's try a thread for anything that anyone notices about, say, a team, a player or a ref that strikes them as being worth bearing in mind for future betting opportunities. I'll add Spanish ref Mateo Busquets Ferrer as the inaugural inductee into our Hall of Gains!

Flagged by @Marek76 who bet on a red card being shown in last night's Real Madrid game, I took a look and also backed Madrid most booking points. The latter landed but not, unfortunately, the red card bet.

I make it he's shown a red card in 17 out of the 43 games he's officiated in the top 2 divisions which equates to simplistic fair odds of just over 2.5. He was 10/3 last night in a game with a fairly middling bookings expectation for Spain.

Worth keeping an eye out for possible opportunities to back a red card at a decent price in his future games.

Feel free to add anything similar that you spot that hit's your "must remember that" trigger!

good idea for a thread. Horse Racing should have something similar.
