Complete Beginner’s Guide to Both Teams to Score Betting | N8
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) is a football betting market based on one straightforward question: will both teams score at least once during the game? If you select BTTS Yes then both teams must score, but if No then at least one team must fail to score; the final score should a game end go in either team’s favor or be drawn. Here at N8 we try to make terms used in football betting as straightforward as possible, and in this blog we explain how BTTS works, and some factors that can add useful context.
What Does Both Teams to Score Mean?
BTTS Both Teams to Score indicates that each team will need at least one goal scored in the game. There is no value in the amount of goals scored, or whether the goal is scored first by either team. A 1-1,2-1,3-2 or 4-3 will all result in a BTTS Yes outcome. The actual target for which the market is concerned is between the two teams. A win for 2-0 is not equivalent to BTTS Yes as one team could not make the scoreline. The draw of 0-0 also is not the same as BTTS Yes as both teams could not make it.
What is BTTS Yes?
Expected 1 or more goals from each team in the match. This will require both teams to be on the score sheet during the match i.e. both teams to have scored one or more goals before the match has finished. For example, if a match ends 2-1 then both teams have been on the score sheet so BTTS Yes has been achieved. If it’s a draw at 1-1 or a result of 3-2 it remains to be achieved. It doesn’t matter which team wins or how many goals are scored in total.

What is BTTS No?
BTTS No- Means that at least one team is required to end the game without scoring. This selection wins if you get either 0-0, 1-0, 2-0 or 0-3 result as one or both teams did not score. I am not suggesting that there should be very few goals scored in the match though. An Outcome of 4-0 still counts as BTTS No because the losers did not score. The key point is that both teams didn’t score.
How is Both Teams to Score Betting Played?
The procedure begins with choosing a football game and searching for the BTTS market. Most of the time, the options show BTTS Yes and BTTS No. The odds you are shown indicate the prices linked to the choices. After the match: the actual result of the game will determine the result. If both teams scored at least a goal, then the bet BTTS Yes wins; where one or both team did not score, then BTTS No wins. The generality of the market is one reason that November Markets are arguably easier to comprehend than for example more detailed football markets.
What Scores Qualify for BTTS Yes?
BTTS Yes BTTS is scored when both of the teams GET at least 1 goal in the game, it can either be a close game or a one sided game though as long as both teams have scored. Examples are 1-1, 2-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-1, 4-3,2. So long as both teams have scored the final score could be 5-1 as long as both teams get at least 1 goal. A BTTS Yes market only looks at whether both teams have scored at least once, the teams don’t necessarily have to win.
What Scores Qualify for BTTS No?
BTTS No – this is when one of the teams haven’t scored in the game starting on the score 0-0. This includes the scores of 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 0-1 and 0-4. In this bet, the winning team can score as many goals as they want, but the other team cannot score at all. So, for example 4-0 will be a BTTS No winning result, but 4-1 will not. And it’s not about the number of goals scored in this bet, but about one of the sides not scoring at all during the game.
Common Beginner Mistakes in BTTS Betting
a. Assuming Strong Attacks Guarantee BTTS
Two sides in good attacking form might look primed to find the net, though attacking strength by itself is not enough to tell us if even one of the two sides will score. Defensive shape injuries availability, the approach of each team and the significance of the match can all change the outcome.
b. Focusing on One Recent Result
One 4-0 win or 0-0 draw tells us little about a team’s goals-for distribution, and we should examine a number of recent games and take into account things like the opposition, home/away record, goals-for and goals-against.
c. Confusing BTTS With Total Goals
It is distinct from Total Goals (TG), which concerns the overall number of goals scored in a game. A 40 match has four goals (and so is a GG No), while a 11 can be a GG Yes.
d. Ignoring Team News
Variations in the team selection can affect the style of attack or defend. The absence of the high scoring forwards, defenders or the goal keeper might influence the scoring pattern so looking up the pertinent team news could provide some handy context before evaluating a BTTS market.
