Bet on the total number of bookings (yellow cards and red cards) in the whole match (after 90 minutes play until the final whistle). Yellow card counts as 1, red card counts as 2.  

Here are the options commonly available:

Betting Options:


Over 3.5 / 4,5 / 5.5 / 6.5 / 7.5 Bookings
Under 3.5 / 4,5 / 5.5 / 6.5 / 7.5 Bookings

Example
If you bet on under 4.5 cards, and only 4 cards are issued during the first half – then your bet is winning.

If you bet on over 3.5 cards, and only 3 cards are issued during the first half – then your bet is losing.

Rules:
Yellow card counts as 1, red card counts as 2. Second yellows are ignored for settlement purposes (e.g. maximum card count per player is 3).


Settlement will be made with reference to all available evidence to cards shown during the scheduled 90 minutes play. Any card shown after the full-time whistle has been blown will be disregarded.


Cards shown to non-players (e.g. managers or substitutes who play no subsequent part in the game) do not count towards the total.


In the event of a match being abandoned before 90 minutes have been played then all bets will be void unless settlement of bets is already determined.

Example
Ronaldo is given a first yellow card in the game. He then makes another foul and is given a second yellow card, which in turn becomes a red card. This mean Ronaldo has in essence received 3 cards, and 3 cards counted towards to the total number of cards.

If a player gets a straight red card (no first yellow), then only 2 cards will count towards the total.

No. In draw no bet betting, the outcome of a draw is removed from three-way markets.

That means with the option of the draw removed, the bettor has to pick either the home or away win.

How does draw no bet work?

In the draw no bet scenario, if your selection doesn’t win, but the match ends in a draw, your stake will be returned – in effect meaning you neither win nor lose.

In an accumulative bet, if your selection doesn’t win, but the match ends in a draw, that selection will be void and the bet will stand on the remaining selections.

Hollywoodbets offers live in-play betting on hundreds of markets on match day.

In-play betting is fast becoming one of the most popular ways to follow a football match, placing the bettor at the heart of the action once the match kicks off.

How does in-play betting work?

One of the major reasons football is the most popular sport on the planet is the fact, sometimes, form really can go out the window. That’s why live in-play betting has become increasingly popular  – allowing punters to judge where the value lies at any given moment in a game, and potentially cash out at the opportune moment.

Let’s look at an example of how in-play betting works.

It’s FA Cup third round weekend – a date renowned in the English football calendar for its unusually high number of giant-killings.

Team A, a League Two side, are playing Team B, a Premier League side at home.

Team B, due to their league position and status, are heavy favourites to win the game, but after 60 minutes of the game, the score remains locked at 0-0.

On 65 minutes, the lower-ranked side, Team A, score against the run of play.

The odds will then change accordingly. In this scenario, the favourites, Team B, will see their odds drift as they face a race against time to turn the result back in their favour.

In-play betting is one of the most exciting ways to follow every twist and turn of a football match.

The Cash-Out option offers you the chance to take a payout on a bet for a displayed value whilst the betslip is still in progress and before the other matches start.

Here is the explanation of Ante-Post Betting as per Hollywoodbets terms and conditions:

Ante-Post Betting


3.1.1      An ante-post bet is a bet on a medium to long term feature race or event.


In the case of weather or outside influences that cause an event to be postponed or rescheduled to another day, then all ante-post bets shall stand.  


Ante-post bets may include runners that do not ultimately participate in the race or event and bets wagered on such will be considered losers.  These races/events may be referred to as “all-in” events.  


No deduction shall be taken on scratching from ante-post all-in races or events.  


A multiple bet that includes an ante-post leg will be a losing bet in the event the ante-post selection does not participate or run.

An ante-post bet will be void where the race on which the ante-post bet has been placed is officially abandoned, the conditions of the race altered or if the venue of the race has been changed.  In these circumstances any multiple bet, which includes this selection, will be paid out on the remaining selections.

Added time is the additional time added on at the end of each half of a standard football match to compensate for injuries and stoppages during that half (e.g. 90 minutes + 4).

Extra time is the additional period of a game played after full-time if the match requires a winner and has not been settled after 90 minutes and added time. In most instances, penalties will be used to separate sides if the score remains deadlocked after extra time.

Always check if your bet includes or excludes extra time/penalties before confirming your selection. Please note, unless specified most prices will be based on normal time only.
