Both Teams to Score
Quick Definition
A soccer bet on whether both teams will score at least one goal in the match.
Both teams to score (BTTS) is a soccer bet on whether each team will score at least one goal. You bet "Yes" if you think both teams will score, or "No" if you think at least one team will be held scoreless.
The final result doesn't matter. A 1-1 draw and a 4-1 win both win a BTTS Yes bet.
How BTTS Bets Settle
- Yes wins if both teams score at least once.
- No wins if either team (or both) fails to score: 0-0, 1-0, 3-0, and so on.
- Bets are settled on the result after 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalty shootouts don't count.
- Own goals count for the team credited with the goal.
BTTS Examples
| Final Score | BTTS Yes | BTTS No |
|---|---|---|
| 2-1 | Win | Lose |
| 1-1 | Win | Lose |
| 0-0 | Lose | Win |
| 3-0 | Lose | Win |
Popular BTTS Combinations
- BTTS and over 2.5 goals: both teams score and the match has 3+ goals.
- BTTS and a result: for example, both teams score and the home team wins.
- BTTS in both halves: both teams score in the first half and the second half. Much longer odds.
What Drives BTTS Value
- Both teams' attacking strength and defensive record.
- Whether one team is likely to sit back and defend.
- Injuries to key strikers or goalkeepers.
- League tendencies: some leagues see both teams score more often than others.
