BTTS FAQ
What does BTTS stand for?
BTTS stands for Both Teams to Score.
What is a "Both Teams to Score" (BTTS) bet?
A Both Teams to Score (BTTS) bet has two options: 'Yes' or 'No'. If you select 'Yes', your bet will be successful if both teams involved score at least one goal in the football match. If you select 'No', your bet will be successful if at least one team keep a clean sheet (i.e., do not concede a goal).
Why is BTTS a popular football bet to place?
BTTS is a popular football betting market for several reasons:
Unlike other types of bets which could be over before the final whistle, a BTTS bet stay alive for the entire match, providing excitement for the full 90 minutes.
The BTTS market is also popular when predicting the final result of a match is difficult. With BTTS, you are simply hoping for goals.
BTTS bets can be placed into an accumulator on your bet slip to increase the odds and potential winnings.
BTTS can be easier and quicker to research versus other types of bets, as you are looking for teams with a low number of clean sheets or concede goals often and a high number of goals scored. This can make it more accessible for people new to football betting.
While odds vary, a BTTS bet can often have odds of around 2.0 which can provide good value when other markets are low.
How do I research BTTS bets?
To research BTTS bets, focus on teams with a low number of clean sheets and a high number of goals scored. For a more detailed statistical analysis, you can also research a team's form—paying attention to the home team and away team records can be an important factor to consider when making BTTS predictions. Reviewing past results is also crucial.

Does a BTTS bet include extra time and penalties?
No, a standard BTTS bet excludes extra time and penalties (i.e., it only covers 90 minutes plus stoppage time).
Do own goals count towards a BTTS bet?
Yes, own goals do count towards a BTTS bet. For example, if Manchester United have already scored and then concede an own goal, the score becomes 1-1 and a "BTTS: Yes" bet wins.
What are the typical odds for a BTTS bet?
The odds for BTTS markets can vary, but generally "BTTS: Yes" might have odds around 1.5 to 2.0 when it is more likely to happen. In fixtures expected to be tight and defensive, the odds can climb to 2.5 or higher.
Which football leagues have the highest percentage of BTTS results?
Brazil's Serie A, Finland's Ykkonen and Poland's I Liga are among the leagues with the highest BTTS probability, while the German Bundesliga has the highest percentage of the major European leagues. Other popular leagues and competitions like the Premier League and Champions League have a BTTS probability of around 50%
What impact do key player injuries (strikers, defenders) have on BTTS probability?
Key player injuries significantly impact BTTS probability. For example, an injury to a star striker reduces a team's attacking threat, making a goal less likely (e.g., if Erling Haaland is missing from the Manchester City line-up). Conversely, the absence of a first-choice defender or goalkeeper can damage the defensive unit, increasing the chance they will concede (e.g., if David Raya were to miss a game for Arsenal).
Can I include BTTS selections in an accumulator?
Yes, you can add BTTS selections to an accumulator. It's a very popular betting market for accas because it lets you combine predictions from multiple matches into one single bet, which increases the potential returns.
How does a "BTTS in the first half" or "second half" bet work?
A "BTTS in the first half" bet shrinks the regular BTTS wager down to the first 45 minute period plus stoppage time, meaning both teams must score before half-time. The odds are naturally higher because it is much harder for two teams to score in a smaller window of time.
Is it possible to combine BTTS with a correct score bet?
Some bookmakers like LiveScore Bet allow you to combine BTTS with a correct score, giving you more ways to build your score predictions.
Are there special promotions or free bets offered for BTTS?
Some bookmakers like LiveScore Bet have ACCA promotions.
How can I track the live status of my BTTS bet during a game?
You can track your bet by checking the live score section on your bookmaker's app or with LiveScore, just favourite a match to receive notifications.
Is it better to place BTTS bets pre-match or in-play?
Placing a BTTS bet pre-match can be advantageous if the statistical probability is high. Betting in-play can be more effective for reacting to events like an early red card or sudden attacking pressure, as these momentum shifts often contradict pre-match stats. It may also be worth placing an in-play BTTS bet if the probability was high pre-match but neither team has scored late in the game.
