What is BTTS (Both Teams To Score) Betting?

BTTS (Both Teams to Score) is a market settled on whether each side scores at least once in normal time, with extra time and penalties excluded. It’s a goals‑based bet rather than a results‑based one, which is why it’s become one of the most popular options for punters.

Example:

Arsenal v Chelsea – If you fancy both teams to score a goal, simply back “Yes” on the both teams to score market at 10/11. Punters can also back against the goals and select “No” on the market at 10/11, if both teams fail to score the “No” selection will be paid as a winner.

Top Tips Before Making Your Selection:

Pay attention to teams that tend to have a leaky defence.
Back sides that tend to have attacking threat’s.
Always check the results of the previous 5 to 10 games.
History can play a big part, always check if there’s a trend of goals when the teams go head-to-head.

Pros And Cons:

It’s an easy bet to understand. You’re essentially predicting goal scoring, irrespective of the match result.
It adds excitement to the entire match, as you’re interested in both teams scoring, not the outcome.
Predicting outright winners can be difficult, especially in closely contested matches, being able to focus on goals can be more predictable.

Can You Combine This Market With Others?

Of course, this market can be backed as a single or as part of an Acca, which could comprise of various markets including the outright winner of games and the Under/Over Goals market, all of which can be backed with William Hill’s Acca Boost and part of your Bet Builder.

What Does BTTS & Win Mean?

This is a way to potentially enhance your odds, punters can back a team to win whilst also conceding at least one goal, for example; Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea at 4/1 would be classed as a winner if the punter backed BTTS & Arsenal To Win.
