Betting Guides > How to bet using “Both Teams To Score” and the best strategy to make a profit

If you choose to place a bet on both teams to score:

This means that by the end of the game each team must have at least one goal.

It doesn’t matter if it was in the regular time or if the penalty kick score it. As long as both teams have scored, your bet wins.

If you choose ‘No’ in this type of bet, it means that you need only one team to score or neither of them.

It is a good idea to place bets together like this, for example:

When you are not sure who will win, but you are convinced that both teams are playing offensively and there is a great chance for both of them to score.

In the screenshot, you can see the stats of “Almere City FC” goals in their recent matches.

In all games, both teams scored at least one goal.

BTTS Odds and Accumulator

The odds for this market could be very dynamic and every so often worth trying, but sometimes not. So in order to increase the odds, you can combine this bet with another as well.

For example, you will find options in some bookmakers to choose “both teams to score” + to select the winner of the match.

The odds are usually very low only for a match-winner when you want to pick the obvious favorite, so this is a great option to increase your odds. The odds will certainly be higher if you choose an accumulator bet – of course at the cost of more risk. So, you would want to do your research before putting on such a bet.

Another accumulator that you can find offered often by the bookmakers is BTTS+ “both teams to score” over 2.5 or 3.5 goals. The over 3.5 goals option again brings very high risks especially for bigger tournaments, because we rarely can see that many goals in them. But if you play in smaller leagues over 3.5 goals is much more likely to happen.

If over 2.5 goals options are available, it will be a much better deal. If you decide to place your bet on ‘both teams to score’, only one more goal has to be scored and your play will win in this case. And again, the odds of such an accumulator will be higher than if you take only one of the markets.
