Direct answer
BTTS is the acronym for Both Teams To Score, a market known in Brazil as Both Teams to Score.
BTTS Yes wins when both teams score at least one goal. BTTS No wins when at least one of them fails to score.
How does BTTS work?
With BTTS, you are not betting on who wins. The question is:
Will both teams score at least one goal?
| Selection | When it wins | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| BTTS Yes | Home and away teams both score. | 1x1, 2x1, 1x2, 3x3. |
| BTTS No | One of the teams, or both, fails to score. | 0x0, 1x0, 2x0, 0x3. |
BTTS logic
BTTS Yes = home goals >= 1 AND away goals >= 1 BTTS No = home goals = 0 OR away goals = 0 Implied probability = 1 / decimal odds EV = (estimated probability x odds) - 1First you understand the chance the odds suggest. Then you compare it with the probability estimated by the model or by your own analysis.
Example in football
Imagine BTTS Yes paying odds of 1.95. The implied probability is approximately 51.3%.
Implied probability = 1 / 1.95 = 51.3% EV with an estimated chance of 56% = (0.56 x 1.95) - 1 EV = +9.2%The offered odds exceed the fair price under this estimate. Explore the attacking and defensive evidence to assess the probability behind the calculation.
When does BTTS gain strength?
Production from both sides
Both teams score and create chances frequently.
Defenses breached
The teams also concede goals and have a low clean sheet rate.
Home/away filter
The home team produces at home and the away team creates on the road.
Acceptable price
The odds still need to compensate for the estimated probability.
Is BTTS the same as Over 2.5?
No. The markets relate to each other, but they answer different questions.
| Score | BTTS Yes? | Over 2.5 goals? |
|---|---|---|
| 1x1 | Yes | No |
| 2x1 | Yes | Yes |
