If you've spent any time on a betting slip, you've seen the letters BTTS. This guide explains exactly what BTTS is, how to use it, and which matches to target.
What does BTTS mean?
BTTS stands for "Both Teams to Score." Also called GG (Goal-Goal) on Bet9ja. When you bet BTTS Yes, you predict both teams score at least one goal. The final scoreline doesn't matter. On Bet9ja, SportyBet, and BetKing it's listed as GG/NG.

Arsenal 2-1 Man City: BTTS Yes wins. Liverpool 3-0 Burnley: BTTS Yes loses. Chelsea 0-0 Tottenham: BTTS Yes loses, BTTS No wins. A team winning 5-1 still lands BTTS Yes because both teams scored.
