In the world of football fans, few elements are as divisive as the issuing of red cards. It’s no small thing to pull a player from the field for the entire remaining duration of the game, even though it is sometimes necessary in order to ensure the safety of all players or to uphold the spirit of sportsmanship. However, determining when such a drastic step is appropriate can be a very nebulous task, and it is rare for it to be so obviously needed that there is little disagreement about it. A referee who is not judicious in their use of this tool can easily derail a match. Teams that wind up short a player (or sometimes even more than one) are not playing at their full strength, and can start to struggle even in matches which should be easy for them to win.

Red cards are sure to play a part in Euro 2016; the only variable is where they will show up. So much is invested in these matches, both emotionally and monetarily, that it can be very disheartening to see the match you are watching fall victim to an inevitable red card and all of its ensuing drama. However, even if this does happen, all is not necessarily lost. Betting site Bwin recognizes that a red card throws off the odds in ways that cannot be completely accounted for, and they want to make it up to you. If you place a losing pre-match bet on the half-time or full-time market of any Euro 2016 game in which a red card is shown, you’ll receive a FreeBet worth up to £25. While you might still wish that the red card had never been issued at all, at least with Bwin’s offer you don’t stand to lose money from a referee’s potential lack of sound judgement.
