Both teams to score (also known as BTTS) is a common football bet that requires both teams competing in a match to score one goal each. The final result is irrelevant with a BTTS bet, all that matters is that both teams score at some point in 90 minutes.
BTTS is a very popular betting market due to its simplicity and the excitement the wager generates. The tension BTTS creates is mindblowing, especially when several BTTS bets are combined as an accumulator. The only risk with BTTS bets as an accumulator is if one team fails to score, you lose it all.
BTTS bets have also surged in popularity as it adds to the enjoyment of watching a game or even a scorecast programme. A match you have wagered on may be 1-0 at half time but there’s always a chance of the losing side scoring to secure a point or even going on to win. With so many high scoring games in recent seasons and teams scoring more and more goals every year, BTTS looks ever more the best bet in football.
The best way to choose games to bet on BTTS is to watch a few matches featuring attacking teams with weak defensive lines. Manchester United and Sunderland have been recent examples of teams confident enough to score but unable to keep clean sheets as often as they would like. There are no certain bets with BTTS but a little knowledge goes a long way; check recent form ahead of matches and its plain sailing.
For example; Forest Green of the National League enjoyed some huge scoring fixtures last season but failed to keep a clean sheet in most of their games. They proved to be a very profitable option for gamblers and fingers crossed they will repeat this form next season.
It is unlikely you will see a cash out option on BTTS single bets, but some bookmakers have introduced the option on BTTS accumulators. A four fold accumulator will yield good odds and if three come in at half time, the cash out option will likely be a good profit but then again you could always see it through to the end if you’re feeling daring.
Remember, there are no guarantees with gambling and you can’t select blindly and expect to win. You need to take the time to research teams, form and previous meetings before putting your bets on. Always gamble responsibly.
