What is BTTS Betting?

Often abbreviated to BTTS, Both Teams to Score is a fairly simple concept to wrap your head around.

Basically, you’re betting on whether both teams will manage to score at least once or not. The final winner doesn’t matter. The final score doesn’t matter. The timing of the goals scored? You guessed it – doesn’t matter. As long as neither team has a 0 on the scoreboard at the final whistle, you’re good to go.

One thing to note is that BTTS betting is pretty much unique to football. This is in large part due to the fact that not a lot of goals are scored in your average football game, relatively speaking. Be honest, when’s the last time you saw a basketball game in which a team failed to score a single point? So if you’re looking for BTTS wagers, football betting is pretty much your only choice.

Why Bet on BTTS?

There are several advantages to BTTS betting. Let’s go over them one by one:

Simplicity

The binary nature of BTTS bets makes it simple to understand them and calculate the odds for them. Many even consider them somewhat easier to predict than most typical bets. As a result, BTTS accumulators are a popular choice among punters worldwide

Probability

Statistically speaking, between 65% and 72% of all professional football matches have at least one point per team at the end. Combine this fact with some knowledge of the game and the teams, and BTTS might be the closest thing to a safe bet you could find.

Of course, this means that the potential for winnings is limited as well. Don’t expect to bet small and win big here. This is another reason why BTTS is often found in accumulators.

Not Over Until It’s Over

Picture this:

it’s halftime, the last leg of your To Win Acca, and your team is losing 4-0. The odds of your bet winning here are pretty much negligible.

Therein lies the true beauty of BTTS: things could truly turn around in the last second of the match. Remember, the actual score and timing of the goals don’t matter at all for the punter. For the team in question, even if they manage a single goal during stoppage time, it’s still a crushing defeat. For your BTTS bet though? A last-minute victory!

How to Bet on BTTS?

If you got the gist of the basics above, this next step should be fairly simple.

With Both Teams to Score betting, there are only two possible outcomes. Either both teams will manage to score, or not. Only one team scoring doesn’t matter, so you have only two options: Checking “YES” on the betting tip means you’re betting that both teams will score.

Checking “NO”, conversely, means that you’re betting that one or both teams will not score.

The second option, however, doesn’t have the advantage of having a shot until the very end. In fact, it’s quite the opposite: you could lose it at the first minute, and can’t relax until the very end. Still, if you don’t think both teams will manage to put one in the net, it’s an option.

How to Choose Matches to Bet on BTTS?

Figuring out which match is a good candidate for a BTTS bet can be tricky. A team’s win rate and overall success is not really key information here, so the statistics can be a bit harder to figure out. Basically, you’re looking for teams that regularly score a lot of goals, but have problems on the defence. Ideally, you want two such teams facing off to have the best odds of winning.

Conversely, if you’re going for a “no” on Both Teams to Score, you want less aggressive teams with a strong defence. Sadly such matches are often fairly boring and uneventful – but you can use this to your advantage. Luckily for us, football today is all about scoring as much as possible. That’s the reason why the most famous and successful players are usually flashy goal-getters, and rarely defenders.

One good strategy for BTTS is to look for great teams playing away matches. The top teams in the world score goals in pretty much every game they play, especially against weaker opposition. However, playing away from home against a lesser team with strong support often results in a goal or two making it past their defences.

Where to bet on BTTS?

The selection of online bookies today is truly staggering, and there’s a lot of options and a lot of competition. One of the many advantages of the popularisation of online bookmakers, though, is that you can clearly see and compare different offers. Healthy competition is great for the consumer, but it’s up to you to take advantage of it.

The odds for Both Teams to Score tips are usually closely tied to the overall odds of a given betting site. Odds, markets, and potential winnings sometimes vary greatly between bookmakers. You need to thoroughly research all of these before you commit to one bookie – or risk regretting your choice later.

Luckily for you, Betting Fellow has a comprehensive list of some of the best online bookmakers in the business. We recommend taking your time to read through our overviews of all of them, but in case you can’t or won’t, here’s a short list of some options and our reasoning behind the picks:

Both Teams to Score Betting Tips

We’ve already glossed over some basic concepts and betting strategies for BTTS. Now, we’ll go over some tips and things to pay attention towhen wagering on Both Teams to Score. The Teams You might have noticed that knowing the teams themselves, the players and strategies they typically utilise, is crucial to this type of betting. Getting to know themtakes time and effort, but if you love the sport it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Remember that the internet is the greatest research tool mankind has ever devised – use it liberally.

Here are some things that mark a team as suitable for BTTS:

They often confirm the “over 2.5 goals” market.

Have an aggressive playstyle but leak a lot of goals. For instance, 4-3-3 is a typical example of an attacking formation.

On the flip side, if a team has a very defensive approach, like 5-4-1, they might be of interest for a “no” tip.

They’re currently missing crucial players. If the team’s defensive players will not be playing, for example, the odds might be in your favour. The same applies for their top goal-getters.

Also, check the head-to-head stats for the two teams. Some teams are just good at getting through another team’s defences, and vice-versa.

The team composition and strategy is important, but far from the only factor that influences BTTS probability. You’ll want to pay close attention to the context of the match in question, and other miscellaneous conditions that could impact the result. Let’s go over some of them:

Home/Away (Dis)advantages.We previously mentioned this factor, but there are deeper things to consider here: some teams are affected by where they’re playing more than others. Some teams are already stronger, so you might not want them to also have a home advantage. Some may tend to be spurred on by their fans to play differently than usual. You get the picture – just use your head.

Match Context. There’s a big difference in performance between title-defining derbies and friendly games. Consider how motivated to perform a team is for a particular match. Having a lot on the line may also cause a team to take risks they might not otherwise.

Weather and Turf Conditions. Another obvious factor, but one often overlooked. Clear weather and good turf conditions are advantageous for goal-scoring.

What are BTTS Accumulators?

If you have any experience with sports betting, you should already be familiar with accumulators (Sometimes called multiples or parleys). If not, we’ll quickly go over how they work, and specifically how they interact with Both Teams to Score betting.

These types of bets combine multiple individual BTTS tips ('legs') into one bet called an accumulator. The Both Teams to Score accumulator requires all legs to succeed, so your probability of winning decreases. On the flip side, the odds all stack multiplicatively, so the potential winnings get a significant boost as well. As previously mentioned, the relatively safe nature of BTTS bets makes them a great choice for accumulators.

Both Teams to Score Betting Variations

The standard form of BTTS is a simple binary “yes” or “no”. However, variations do exist. In this section of the guide, we’ll go over some of the more common ones.

BTTS and Over/Under. This type combines Both Teams to Score with an Over/Under bet. This means that not only will you have to predict whether both teams will score, you also need there to be more or less than a specified number of goals. Most bookmakers set this number to 2.5.

BTTS in Both Halves. As the name might imply, this variation demands that both teams score at least one goal in the first half of the game, and then score again in the second half as well. Obviously, the probability of this happening is very low, so the odds are proportionally very strong.

BTTS & Result. Another combination in which you try to predict both the BTTS and the eventual winner of the match. There are six options here – a pair of either “yes” or “no” and either Home Win, Away Win, or Draw. Also harder to predict than a BTTS (or a straight result bet, for that matter) but yields better rewards.

BTTS Verdict
