What does BTTS Mean in Betting?

What is BTTS Betting

BTTS stands for Both Teams To Score, so when placing one of these bets, you are saying whether or not you think that both teams playing in a match will score at least one goal each. It does not matter who scores for the teams, as long as both teams score at least once. 

It is a particularly popular bet in football, as instead of predicting or relying on the outcome of a match, the focus is simply on each side scoring at least one goal. BTTS bets are simple ‘Yes’ or “No’ markets, place your bet on the right result, and your bet should be a success.

Example of a BTTS Bet

There are two options when placing BTTS bets:

• Yes - you are betting on both teams to score.

• No - you are betting that one team or both teams will fail to score.

Things to Consider with BTTS bets

There are some things to keep in mind before placing any BTTS bets. We have explored some of the ways to place the most informed bets below.

Team Stats/Form

Be sure to research the current form and statistics of the teams that are playing and that you are looking to bet on. Check if they are frequent goal scorers, how often they have conceded in matches, their defensive records, and more. This information should help you make the most informed BTTS bets.

Head-to-heads

Research to see if the two sides playing have met previously. See what the outcome was at full time and how often both sides have scored and conceded. This can help you to predict the likelihood of whether or not you back each team to get on the scoresheet.

Limitations

BTTS bets normally only cover the regular 90 minutes of a match. So, if a game goes to extra time, and both teams may have scored by the end of the match, this is unlikely to count towards your bet and would still register as a loss. 

BTTS Advantages and Disadvantages

Just like placing any kind of bet, there are various advantages and disadvantages to BTTS bets.
