What does BTTS mean?

FootballFanager team · Updated 12 November 2026

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.

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

A team with a very strong defence, or a clear favourite against a weak attack, pushes the chance down.
