So what is a Correct Score Bet ?

A correct score bet is one of the most popular sports betting markets for football sports bettors. This is because of the risk vs reward. When you place a bet on a football match between two teams. For this example we will use Real Madrid vs AS Roma. Because Real Madrid will be the stronger of the two teams thus making them the favourites. When you try to place a match result bet the pre-game odds will have low returns/payout excluding stake. However the correct score bet will usually have a higher payout compared to the pre-game match result odds. This is due to the difficulty involved at predicting a correct score over 90 minutes.

The most popular correct sore selections taken by sports bettors are usually 1-1, 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2.

To place a correct score bet with an online sports betting website like Betway or 1xbet simply search for the correct score betting market for the fixture you are looking to bet on.

Once you have found the market you simply select the correct score. If you select 2-1 this means the that first team/home team will win by 2 goals to 1. If you select 1-2 this means that the second team/away team will by 2 goals to 1 in 90 minutes.

Online sports betting websites like Betway Bet9ja Nigeria and 1xbet also offer a correct score market for halftime. This means you must predict what the score will be in the first 45 minutes and only the first 45 minutes.

Make sure you know which teams is the home team or playing away.

Both Teams To Score (BTTS)

What is BTTS?

Both Teams To Score is simple to explain. The result of the bet is in the name of the bet, both teams must score for you to in the bet. You can select this bet at pre-game and depending on the online sports betting website you are using you can place this bet in-play or during the live match. Online sports betting websites like Betway, 1xbet and Bet9ja allow you to place a both teams to score bet in-play or during the live match.

So what is a both teams to score bet?

Well it is when you predict that in a 90 minute football match both teams will score a goal each. This is regardless of the total goals scored in 90 minutes. If after 90 minutes the match has ended 1-1 or 2-1 you will win your bet. Should the 90 minute match end 0-0 or 1-0 you will have lost your bet.

With most sports betting websites like Sportingbet, Betway or 1xbet you can also bet that only one team will score. This the opposite of a BTTS bet and you will win the bet if only a single team score in 90 minutes. The 90 minute match must end 1-0, 2-0 etc. If the game ends up being goalless you will lose that bet.

Most sports betting websites will have the betting market as, both teams to score and you will have to select either Yes for both teams to score and No for both teams won’t score.

The both teams to score bet is popular amongst sports bettors as it is easier to predict than correct score, match results or halftime/fulltime. For most sports bettors who enjoy placing accumulators this is a bet I recommend. It eliminates you relying on a specific team to win or a certain amount of goals to be scored in your 90 minute match.

Yes own goals also count.
