How do you react when a red card is given?

Football, Soccer - whatever you call it. It is the beautiful game.

do you consider it a red flag or you jumping into this trade?

i ve heard people saying they re avoiding games with red cards
but for me this is a sign to bet on the other team
be that to win the game
be that score turn over

I feel like your question is too binary. It should be neither avoid at all costs, or jump in like a headless chicken as a default.

There's any number of things that can occur in a match that will change momentum, with red cards being just one, albeit one of the more important ones. So like with anything, "simply" adjust accordingly.

The one spot with red cards where I will say that I typically take a fair chunk of time to see how the match settles is when there's a red for a team in desperate need of a goal and/or looking highly to score soon (before the red). In this case the dynamic can be weird for some time imo.
