Both teams to score or Over 2.5 goals market explained

Since this market is famous on many betting sites and not all are set the same, we will now explain how it is settled on Betano and why.

The market has two betting options, Yes or No.

For the selection Yes, the bet is a winner when both teams score or more than 2.5 goals are scored in the match.

This means:

  • If both teams score the bet is won
  • If there are more than 2.5 goals in the match, the bet is won

For the selection No, the bet is winning when neither happens, which analytically is one of the following scores: 2-0, 1-0, 0-0, 0-1, 0-2.

This means that: 

  • If both teams score the bet is lost
  • If there are more than 2.5 goals in the match, the bet is lost
  • If both teams will not score in the match, the bet is won

You may be wondering, why is there that Or in the market title? The logic behind it is simple: we can't offer the same result on two markets for two different answer options (Yes or No).

That means that if we offer Both teams to score correctly and win for Yes, then for No, we can only settle it as won if both teams don't score.

Likewise, if we offered Over 2.5 goals for Yes as the winner, then for No, we can only offer it as the winner if the teams do not score 2.5 goals.
