Both teams to score (BTTS), sometimes called goals-goals/no-goals, is a football bet on whether both teams will score at least one goal in the match.
Definition
Both teams to score (BTTS), sometimes called goals-goals/no-goals, is a football bet on whether both teams will score at least one goal in the match. It has just two outcomes — Yes or No — and settles on the full-time score regardless of who wins, which makes it popular with bettors who have a view on how open a game will be but not on the result.
Variants include BTTS in the first half, BTTS and the match result as a combined market, and BTTS in both halves.
Because it ignores the winner and the exact score, BTTS is a simplified read on a match's attacking and defensive shape. It is a staple in accumulators and bet builders, where several BTTS legs are combined for a bigger price, and it carries the sportsbook's usual margin on a two-way market.
In context
For affiliates, BTTS is one of the most searched football betting markets and a natural preview-content topic: team scoring and conceding rates, clean-sheet records, injuries to key attackers or defenders, and match context all inform a BTTS view, and it is straightforward enough to explain to a broad audience while still being genuinely analysable. Content should explain the two outcomes, how it settles, and the common variants and combined markets.
The framing points are standard. BTTS combined across an accumulator multiplies both the potential return and the chance of one leg failing, and content should not present multi-leg BTTS accas as a reliable strategy.
The market carries the book's margin like any other. Compliance requirements are the usual set: licensed operators, age-gating, responsible-gambling messaging, no appeal to minors, and honest framing that BTTS is an entertainment bet, not an edge.
Where a review compares operators, relevant details are BTTS market variants offered, whether it can be combined in a bet builder, and any recurring BTTS promotions with their full terms.
Worked example
An affiliate's weekend preview gives a BTTS view for three matches using scoring and clean-sheet data, explains the Yes/No settlement and the first-half variant, and notes that combining all three as an acca multiplies the risk of one leg failing. The page carries age and responsible-gambling messaging.
