Sometimes it’s just too difficult to predict who is going to win the big match. Luckily, there are a number of bets which don’t require you to select the overall winner, and one such bet is ‘Both Teams To Score.’ Here, you are given the options ‘yes’ or ‘no’ so it’s a bet that is not impacted at all by win-lose-draw, only by goals.<\/p>\n
So just what is a ‘Both Teams To Score’ bet? A breath of fresh air in the sometimes confusing world of gambling, this bet does exactly what it says on the tin. Your simple task is to answer the question ‘will both teams score?’\u00a0 If you go for ‘yes’ and both sides score, then whatever the final result happens to be you win your bet. Alternatively, you could answer ‘no’ and hope that only one or neither of the teams score. BTTS (the industry loves an acronym) is most commonly found in football betting but can also be seen in other sports such as ice hockey.<\/p>\n
Why choose BTTS?<\/h2>\n

The most obvious reason to go for this sort of bet is when there just isn’t a clear favourite in a fixture and so the odds are all rubbish. There are plenty of others, though.<\/p>\n
One advantage is that the bet could retain your interest right down to the last kick of the game. For example, if you have a BTTS bet on Liverpool vs Swansea City and it’s 4-0 to the Reds deep into second-half injury time, even though the game is over as far as the winner is concerned you would still have an interest because a late goal from Swansea, while useless to them, would mean everything to you as your bet would be won.<\/p>\n
In complete contrast to that, your bet could also come in after 5 minutes if both teams manage to hit the back of the net early, in which case your bet is won and you can either sit back and enjoy your winnings or put them to use elsewhere.<\/p>\n
It’s also a bet that doesn’t require too much work. You can do some research but it shouldn’t take you long to find what you need to make a decision. It is also easier to bag a winner as the bet isn’t very specific, although that, of course, comes with lower odds.<\/p>\n
This sort of bet might well appeal to punters who are newer to sports betting or who are more cautious in nature\u00a0since it is not an\u00a0intimidating wager to place and is easy to get your head around.<\/p>\n
How often do Both Teams Score?<\/h2>\n
There are plenty of statistics available online providing information on which teams to follow when considering a BTTS bet. Figures show that for most teams around the world 40-50% of their games will see both teams score, which provides plenty of scope for the punter.<\/p>\n
