when I follow my heart and bet on Real Madrid (It cost me money last season, but I will support them even if they play against aliens, no choice Grin

How do you believe that betting on a side is to support them? Does a player care what are the odds for them or their team? Or, do they mind how much money staked for them for a particular match? Even they bother about gambling statistics, it got nothing to do with their performance. Hence, betting on your favourite team makes no sense. If you want to win a bet then go rational.

What does referee history has to do with how the outcome of a match would be?

I guess modern analytical process includes this as well. If a referee is known for giving out excessive red cards, I guess these bettors may stay away rather than believing into a team's strength and weakness.
