There is a lot of value in player booking markets.

But 99% of people use basic stats and poor research methods.

Here's how you can filter through thousands of players in seconds to find high-potential players for bookings:

Finding high-potential players comes from qualifying multiple rules at once. A player might make 2+ fouls per game, yes, but how many games have they completed? Who were the previous cards against? All of these questions (and more) formed the UI below. Let me show you more.

This tool (Player Search from @OddAlerts) allows you to filter through thousands of players in a matter of seconds. In this example, we are combining FOUR rules to find players we might be interested in for a booking this weekend. Let me explain the rules:

Appearances and Started %: This is pretty self-explanatory, but it's important to consider. These two metrics work well together, as a player may have started 100% of the games, but if the season is only 5 games long, it's not a significant sample size.

I like to add 1+ yellow card just so we get a collection of players that have already been booked at least once this season. Fouls (AVG) is a great place to start, but don't forget to check out the individual profile of the player. Here's a look at Benteke (2.76 PG).

Let's click the rule we wan to sort by and hit search...

MAGIC ✨🚀

3,742 players into 13 highly qualified players for you to explore.

The tool in this thread is the new Player Search and it's being tested by @OddAlerts users right now. It will be launching fully on the 26th June.

It might be post-season, but the referee page still acts as a great shortlist for potential card bets, entering the game via the referee first as opposed to the teams or players.
