What Is BTTS? Both Teams to Score Explained
BTTS stands for "both teams to score", a football bet on whether each team scores at least one goal in the match. You pick Yes if you think both will score, or No if you think at least one team will finish without a goal. The winner does not matter—a 1–1 draw and a 3–2 win are both BTTS Yes, while 2–0 and 0–0 are both BTTS No. On most sportsbooks the market settles on 90 minutes plus stoppage time, own goals count for the team credited with them, and extra time and penalty shootouts are left out. This guide covers how Yes and No settle, what counts as a goal for the market, common BTTS combinations and what to check on Go2win.
How BTTS Yes and No settle
| Full-time score (90 minutes + stoppage time) | BTTS Yes | BTTS No |
|---|---|---|
| 0–0 | Loses | Wins |
| 1–0 | Loses | Wins |
| 1–1 | Wins | Loses |
| 2–1 | Wins | Loses |
| 3–0 | Loses | Wins |
| 3–3 | Wins | Loses |
Only one thing is checked: did each team score at least once? The size of the win, the total number of goals and who won play no part.
What counts for the market
Sportsbook rules for BTTS commonly say:
- Time: the market is based on 90 minutes plus stoppage time added by the referee.
- Own goals: count for the team they are credited to. If Team A scores and a Team A defender puts the ball into his own net, the match is 1–1 and BTTS Yes wins.
- Disallowed goals: do not count; settlement follows the official score.
- Extra time and penalties: do not count. A cup tie that is 1–0 after 90 minutes and finishes 1–1 after extra time settles as BTTS No. For more on this rule, see does extra time count in football betting.
Some books also offer first-half or second-half BTTS, which only look at goals in that half. Rules can differ by sportsbook, so the rules page of the book you use is what applies.
BTTS vs over/under 2.5 goals
The two markets sound alike but settle differently:
- 2–0 is under 2.5 (only two goals) and BTTS No.
- 3–0 is over 2.5 but BTTS No, because one team did not score.
- 1–1 is BTTS Yes but under 2.5, because there are only two goals.
So BTTS is about who scored, while over/under counts how many goals were scored. For goal lines, see over/under 2.5 goals explained.
Common BTTS combinations
Many sportsbooks pair BTTS with another market on one selection:
- Result and BTTS: for example, Team A to win and both teams to score. Both parts must be right; a 2–1 Team A win wins, a 2–0 Team A win loses.
- BTTS and over 2.5 goals: both teams must score and the match needs three or more goals. A 2–1 wins; a 1–1 loses.
Because both conditions must be met, a combination is usually priced higher than either part on its own.
Example (example odds only, not a live price): at example decimal odds of 1.85 for BTTS Yes (0.85 in Malay and Hong Kong format), a RM10 stake returns RM18.50 if both teams score, which is RM8.50 profit plus the RM10 stake.

FAQ
What is BTTS?
BTTS means "both teams to score". It is a football bet on whether each team scores at least one goal. BTTS Yes wins if both teams score, for example 1–1 or 2–1; BTTS No wins if at least one team does not score, for example 0–0 or 2–0. Who wins the match does not matter.
Do own goals count for BTTS?
Yes, own goals count for BTTS on most sportsbooks. An own goal is credited to the team that benefits from it. So if Team A scores and then concedes an own goal that is credited to Team B, the score is 1–1 and BTTS Yes wins.
Does extra time count for BTTS?
No, extra time usually does not count for BTTS. The market is based on 90 minutes plus stoppage time, and penalty shootouts are also left out. A cup match that is 1–0 after 90 minutes settles as BTTS No, even if the other team scores in extra time.
What is the difference between BTTS and over 2.5 goals?
The difference is that BTTS checks whether both teams scored, while over 2.5 counts total goals. A 3–0 result is over 2.5 but BTTS No. A 1–1 result is BTTS Yes but under 2.5. A 2–1 result wins both. So BTTS is about who scored, while over/under counts how many goals were scored.
