What does BTTS mean?
BTTS stands for both teams to score. A "BTTS – Yes" bet wins if each team scores at least one goal. "BTTS – No" wins if at least one team fails to score. The final score is all that matters: who wins does not.
Examples
| Final score | BTTS Yes | BTTS No |
|---|---|---|
| 1-1 | Wins | Loses |
| 3-1 | Wins | Loses |
| 2-0 | Loses | Wins |
| 0-0 | Loses | Wins |
What counts
Normally only goals in the 90 minutes plus stoppage time count. Extra time and penalty shoot-outs do not, unless the bookmaker says so. Own goals count for the team that is credited with the goal.
What makes BTTS more likely
- Two teams that both score often and both concede often.
- Leagues with many goals per match.
- Teams that must chase a result late in the match.
A team with a very strong defence, or a clear favourite against a weak attack, pushes the chance down.
