What Is Both Teams to Score?
BTTS stands for Both Teams to Score. In this market, you predict whether both teams will score at least one goal during the match. The market usually has two options: Yes or No.
- Yes means both teams must score.
- No means at least one team must fail to score.
The final match winner does not matter, and the exact score does not matter—only whether both teams get on the score sheet.
On Betway platforms commonly used in Botswana, this market may also appear as Goal/No Goal, where:
- Goal = both teams score
- No Goal = one or both teams do not score

| BTTS No | One or both teams do not score | Final scores like 0-0, 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 | Both teams score |
