  • Montpellier-Clermont à rejouer et retrait de points pour le MHSC

    Montpellier-Clermont à rejouer et retrait de points pour le MHSC

    C’est aujourd’hui que la commission de discipline de la LFP décidait du sort de la rencontre Montpellier-Clermont du 8 octobre dernier. Alors que le MHSC menait 4-2 dans le temps additionnel, le portier auvergnat Mory Diaw était atteint par un pétard lancé depuis la tribune héraultaise. Il a même dû être évacué sur civière, provoquant l’arrêt définitif du match par mesure de sécurité. Le club de Laurent Nicollin, déjà dans la tourmente depuis quelques heures et le déclenchement de l’affaire Mamadou Sakho, vit donc une très mauvaise période.

    La commission ne lui inflige pas de défaite sur tapis vert. A la place, elle demande à ce que le match soit rejoué dans son intégralité et à huis clos à la Mosson. Ce n’est pas tout puisque le MHSC se voit retirer deux points au classement, dont un avec sursis. La tribune Étang de Thau est également fermée de manière partielle pour deux matchs.

  • What are Booking Points when Betting on Football?

    What are Booking Points when Betting on Football?

    When betting on football with us at Betfred, one of the options available is to back the over or under for a certain amount of booking points, but how do they work?

    Here at Betfred Insights Education, we have all your questions answered.

    What are Booking Points?

    Quite simply, they are a way to bet on how many cards a referee will show during a game.

    How many booking points is a yellow card worth?

    A booking is worth ten points with us at Betfred.

    How many booking points is a red card worth?

    A red card is worth 25 points when a referee sends someone off in a game with us at Betfred

    How many booking points are a yellow and red card in the same game worth?

    If a referee books a player but later sends him off, even if it is for two yellow cards offences, it will total 35 booking points for the purposes of the bet (one yellow + one red card).

    How do Booking Points work?

    Every time a referee dishes out a card in a game to a player on the pitch, it will count towards the total amount in a game (as described earlier). Therefore the way booking points work is to add all of these up at the end of a game.

    For example, four yellow cards would mean 40 points, so if you bet over 39.5 total booking points, you’d be a winner. If you’d bet the under 39.5, your bet would be a loser.

    Betfred offer multiple markets when looking at booking points, so you can pick and choose your total number and bet accordingly.

    Booking Points Betting Tactics

    Probably the most important thing to look for when planning your booking points bet is to check out who the referee in charge of the game is.

    For the 22/23 season, there was a pretty clear trend that the older and more experienced referees gave out fewer cards compared to the younger and more inexperienced members of the Select Group.

    This is very much noteworthy and with the new edict coming down from the PGMOL that even small moments of dissent (kicking the ball away, asking for a yellow card) are automatic bookings, we’ve seen early in the 23/24 campaign that more cards are being shown than in previous years.

    It is pretty obvious but rivalry games tend to see more cards shown. This means the traders will take this into account and often you’ll see the likes of the Old Firm Derby and Manchester United vs Liverpool tend to see their odds skew towards expecting more cards to be dished out.

    So keep an eye on the two teams and whether they have history or if any of their recent encounters have been particularly spicy. Players, staff and fans do not forget and they often will wait for a spot of revenge.

    This one might be a surprise but check out the time of day a game is being played. Early kick-offs are often slightly more sleepy with a more docile atmosphere and that can lead to lower booking points. Games under the lights with a loud and boisterous crowd put more pressure on the players and the referee.

    Booking Points Rules

    A couple of important rules to note include only cards shown to players on the field of play count. So anyone shown a card in the dugout does not count for the purposes of this bet and you cannot bet on staff to be shown cards.

    Also when betting on cup games that go into Extra Time, this bet only takes into consideration the regulation 90 minutes, so once the Full Time whistle blows, your booking points bet is over, even if an extra thirty minutes are called for.

    La Liga had a mini Madrid derby in store for us at the start of Saturday evening with Getafe traveling to the Cívitas Metropolitano to challenge Atlético de Madrid, during the 20th day of the Spanish championship. As usual, the Colchoneros were slow to find the breach. Despite a slight superiority, Diego Simeone’s players failed to bring down the Azulones (1-1), when they were leading in the score thanks to an achievement by Ángel Correa on the hour mark (60th).

    What’s next after this ad

    While the locals believed they were heading for a precious victory, Enes Ünal equalized for the evening visitors thanks to a converted penalty (83rd). In the standings, Atlético consolidates its 4th position in the championship, while Getafe sinks by camping its 19th place. Next weekend, the people of Madrid will travel to play against Celta de Vigo. Quique Sánchez Flores’ players will play a new derby in the Spanish capital against Rayo Vallecano, as part of the 21st day of La Liga.

    Bitcoin Steady as BOE Hikes Rates by 50 Basis Points; ‘Reverse Currency Wars’ Gain Steam

    The ongoing race among central banks to lift rates and support their currencies to keep inflation under check suggests the path of least resistance for risk assets is to the downside.

    Bitcoin (BTC) held steady on Thursday after the Bank of England (BOE) raised its benchmark interest rates by 50 basis points (bps) to 2.25% in a continued fight against inflation.

    The BOE’s second straight 50 bps move came a day after the Federal Reserve delivered its third consecutive 75 bps rate hike and signaled a higher terminal rate or peak rate of 4.6%.

    The BOE said the inflation peak is likely to be lower than projected in August, at just under 11% and maintained that the policy is not on a preset path.

    The Swiss National Bank also lifted its borrowing cost by 75 basis points early during the day, exiting the negative interest rate policy. Meanwhile, Japan intervened in the foreign exchange markets to stall the yen slide.

    The coordinated tightening, which began early this year, represents reverse currency wars – a race among central bankers to raise rates and support their respective fiat currencies to keep inflation in check.

    The ongoing reverse currency wars indicate the path of last resistance for risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, is on the downside. Some analysts, however, believe the crypto market has already taken a bearing and there is little downside left.

    “Even if central banks tighten monetary policy further, the situation will not worsen more, for the current performance of crypto assets is terrible enough,” Griffin Ardern, volatility trader from crypto asset management firm Blofin, told CoinDesk.

    Bitcoin changed hands at $19,080 at press time, up 3% for the day, according to CoinDesk data.

  • Tennis 101 & Why 7 Match Points Didn’t Phase Van Rijthoven

    Tennis 101 & Why 7 Match Points Didn’t Phase Van Rijthoven

    To some players, facing seven match points would be a daunting task. Tim Van Rijthoven, however, has confronted much worse.

    The Dutchman, who saved seven match points on Monday and rallied from two sets down to stun Zhang Zhizhen at the US Open, is enjoying the best year of his career. But it has been far from easy for the 25-year-old to get to this point.

    Going through the list of injuries Van Rijthoven has suffered since turning pro in 2015 takes almost as long as an interview itself.

    “When I was 18, I had a golfer’s elbow. It hurt when I was hitting serves, forehand volleys and smashes, so I couldn’t play a match,” Van Rijthoven said. “It took me about a year to recover from that and that was my first year as a pro.”

    [ATP APP]

    Once Van Rijthoven returned to the court, he was able to compete for a year and a half, but his elbow still hurt “a lot”. At the end of the year, he fell on his wrist and needed surgery. That was another eight months out.

    Again, the Dutchman was able to return to competition for a year, but then hurt both his groins and was unable to move to his left or right. Each time Van Rijthoven recovered physically, but he was never able to find his rhythm on the court. In February 2020, he underwent vein surgery on his right arm to deal with thrombosis, which occurs when a blood clot causes a blockage.

    “I’ve had moments when I’ve thought about quitting the sport altogether and just going back to studying,” Van Rijthoven said. “Definitely not easy.”

    It was tough for him to imagine a life without tennis. Van Rijthoven began golfing when he was very young, holding a club at the age of two. But tennis was in his blood.

    “I think my first lessons were at five, six years old,” Van Rijthoven said. “My parents were both tennis teachers, so it was only normal for me to play tennis.

    “Both my parents were in that life, so it kind of became my life. I never thought of it as really my job, but just part of my life.”

    Sometimes it became hard for him to differentiate between his professional career and his personal life. His family and friends, especially his girlfriend, urged him to continue working hard and eventually the effort would reap rewards. According to Van Rijthoven, his biggest improvement came in his mind.

    “For me it was really just turning a switch on in my head,” he said.

    It all paid off for Van Rijthoven earlier this year during the grass-court season. In front of his home fans at ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the Dutchman lifted the trophy as a wild card ranked World No. 205.

    In the final, he upset then-World No. 2 Daniil Medvedev to become the first man to defeat a World No. 1 or No. 2 in his first ATP Tour final in the Tour’s history (since 1990). Van Rijthoven backed it up by advancing to the fourth round at Wimbledon as a wild card on his Grand Slam debut. In the Round of 16, he tested eventual champion Novak Djokovic before losing to the Serbian in four sets.

    Van Rijthoven did not let the success of the moment get to his head, though. Although he recognised “how precious those matches were”, he said he “definitely [had] both feet on the ground”.

    Just weeks later, Van Rijthoven went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. At No. 101 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings, one place from checking off his major goal of cracking the Top 100, injury struck again. The Dutchman was hitting a serve at an ATP Challenger Tour event when he strained his back. “I couldn’t really move either side and was just stuck in one position,” Van Rijthoven said.

    “I thought about ‘Not again’, yeah. I also feel like whenever I feel a small pain coming up, I’m very careful, so I want to get a picture taken of it and everything and just know what it is, because I’ve had all those injuries before.”

    Van Rijthoven did not play a tournament between that moment and the US Open. He seemed destined for a first-round exit when he trailed Zhang by two sets and 1/5 in the third-set tie-break. But like he has throughout his career, the Dutchman persevered.

    With the World No. 117’s sights set on the Top 100 — a mark he is projected to eclipse with an upset win in the second round against Casper Ruud — Van Rijthoven is ready to continue his surge.

    “That’s one of the big goals for me and I was 101,” Van Rijthoven said. “That really hurts to be 101 and finish the career 101, so I don’t want to finish 101.”
