What Does “Away Sending Off – Yes/No” Mean?
This is a special market where you bet on whether the away team will receive a red card in a match.
- Yes → You are betting that the away team will have at least one player sent off.
- No → You are betting that the away team will finish the game without a red card.
Remember:
- A red card can be straight (serious foul, violent conduct, denial of goal-scoring chance) or two yellow cards.
- Usually, extra time does not count unless specified, but injury time does.
Example with a Team
Imagine a Premier League game:
Chelsea (Home) vs Newcastle United (Away)
- If you bet “Away Sending Off – Yes”, you win if any Newcastle player is sent off (e.g., Bruno Guimarães gets two yellows).
- If you bet “Away Sending Off – No”, you win if Newcastle finish the match with all 11 players, or only pick up yellow cards without a red.
Example Betting Scenarios
- Yes Bet Wins
- Chelsea dominate possession, Newcastle defend deep and foul often.
- In the 65th minute, a Newcastle defender pulls down Sterling as last man → straight red card.
- If you backed “Away Sending Off – Yes”, you win.
- No Bet Wins
- Newcastle play disciplined football, maybe collect a few yellows but stay careful.
- Match ends 11 v 11.
- If you backed “Away Sending Off – No”, you win.
Factors to Consider Before Betting
- Team Discipline History
- Teams like Atlético Madrid, Getafe, or Newcastle (in physical matches) often collect more cards.
- Check stats: average reds per season, fouls per game.
- Referee Profile
- Some referees hand out more red cards than others (e.g., strict vs lenient refs).
- Match Intensity / Rivalries
- Derbies or relegation battles see more aggression.
- Example: Barcelona vs Real Madrid (El Clásico) has a history of red cards.
- Away Team Playing Style
- Defensive and physical away sides risk more fouls.
- High pressing = more tactical fouls.
Betting Tips
- Look at recent discipline stats: If the away team averages 0.2–0.3 reds per game, betting “Yes” is more valuable.
- Check referee stats: Some referees give 4–6 red cards per season, others hardly give 1–2.
- Derbies & big clashes: Higher chance of tempers flaring → “Yes” more appealing.
- Safer option: In balanced, low-stakes games, “No” is more common, since red cards are relatively rare.
- Combine in a Bet Builder: Example – “Chelsea to win + Away sending off – Yes” for boosted odds if you expect a dominant home performance.
In short:
“Away Sending Off – Yes/No” is betting on whether the away team will receive a red card. It’s influenced by team discipline, referee strictness, and match context. Most matches end with No, but high-pressure games can bring value on Yes.
