Any 3 to Win and BTTS Explained

What does Any 3 to Win and BTTS mean?

Any 3 to Win and BTTS is a bet that combines two parts. The first part is three teams to win their matches. The second part is BTTS, which stands for both teams to score.

BTTS is a two-way market. You bet 'yes' if you think both teams will score at least one goal each. You bet 'no' if you think at least one team will fail to score.

The combined bet is a type of accumulator. All four selections – three match winners and the BTTS pick – must win for the bet to pay out.

How does BTTS work?

BTTS 'yes' wins if the match ends with both teams scoring, such as 1-1, 2-1 or 3-2. BTTS 'no' wins if the match ends 0-0 or only one team scores, such as 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0.

BTTS is available for pre-match and live betting. It can apply to the whole match or specific periods like the first half or second half.

BTTS odds vary depending on the teams. For example, in a match between Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Monchengladbach at the start of the 2023/24 season, the odds for BTTS 'yes' were around 1.48. In a match between Sheffield United and Manchester City, the odds for BTTS 'yes' were 2.45.

Worked example: how the bet is calculated

Suppose you place a £10 stake on Any 3 to Win and BTTS with decimal odds. You pick three teams to win and one match for BTTS 'yes'. The odds for each selection are multiplied together to get the total odds.

Total odds = 1.80 × 2.00 × 1.90 × 1.70 = 11.63. If all four selections win, your return is £10 × 11.63 = £116.30, including your stake. Your profit is £106.30.

What to check before betting

When betting on BTTS, consider factors such as goals scored and conceded, head-to-head records, injuries and suspensions. These can affect whether both teams are likely to score.

BTTS is often used in football accumulators and bet builders. It can be combined with other markets like match result or double chance.
