Both Teams to Score (BTTS) is a football market that asks one question: did both teams score at least one goal during the match? It does not matter who wins, what the final score is, or how many goals are scored in total. The only thing that matters is whether each team found the net at least once during the 90 minutes plus stoppage time.
On Nigerian bookmakers, this market is almost universally labelled using the abbreviation GG/NG rather than BTTS. GG stands for "goal-goal" (both teams scored) and NG stands for "no-goal" (at least one team finished with zero goals).
What the market covers
A BTTS / GG selection settles on the result at 90 minutes plus stoppage time. If the match goes to extra time (in a cup knockout, for example), the standard BTTS market does not include those additional minutes unless the bookmaker explicitly states otherwise.
There are two outcomes:
- BTTS Yes / GG — both teams score at least one goal in regulation
- BTTS No / NG — at least one team ends with zero goals (including a 0-0 draw)
How it works — worked examples
Example 1: Arsenal vs Chelsea. The match ends 2-1.
- Arsenal scored (2 goals). Chelsea scored (1 goal).
- Both teams scored — GG wins.
Example 2: Arsenal vs Chelsea. The match ends 3-0.
- Arsenal scored (3 goals). Chelsea scored 0.
- Chelsea did not score — NG wins.
Example 3: Arsenal vs Chelsea. The match ends 0-0.
- Neither team scored.
- At least one team (both, in fact) failed to score — NG wins. A 0-0 draw is always a BTTS No result.
The final scoreline and which team wins are irrelevant. A 1-4 defeat for the home team still results in GG, because the home team scored at least once.

Frequently asked questions
Does a 0-0 count as BTTS No? Yes. If neither team scores, at least one team (both teams, in this case) has zero goals. A 0-0 draw always settles as BTTS No / NG.
Does it matter which team wins? No. The market only asks whether both teams scored at least one goal. A 1-5 away thrashing is still BTTS Yes if the home team scored that one goal.
Does extra time count? No, for standard BTTS markets. Settlement is based on 90 minutes plus stoppage time only. Goals scored in extra time or a penalty shootout do not count unless the bookmaker specifically offers an "including extra time" variant.
What is the difference between GG and BTTS? They are the same market. GG (goal-goal) is the Nigerian shorthand used on Bet9ja and SportyBet. BTTS (Both Teams to Score) is the label used on 1xBet and Stake. Both refer to an identical settlement rule.
