It does not matter who wins.

BTTS No
Wins if at least one team fails to score. A 0-0, 1-0 or 4-0 wins.
Not the same as Over
A 3-0 has over 2.5 goals but BTTS No. A 1-1 is BTTS Yes but under 2.5.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask us most.
Does BTTS need both to score before halftime?
No. The market covers the whole match unless the market name says otherwise.
What if the match is abandoned?
Rules differ by operator; check yours before you bet.
Is BTTS easier than a 1X2 bet?
It removes the need to pick a winner, but it has its own risk and the odds reflect it.
Can I combine BTTS with the result?
Many operators offer it as a combined market; read its rules and remember combined bets multiply the risk.
