This is a combination (or double) bet in ice hockey where you’re betting on two outcomes to happen in the same match:
What It Means:
“W2 and Both Teams to Score – Yes” means:
- W2 = The away team (Team 2) wins the match (either in regulation time, overtime, or via shootout, depending on bookmaker rules).
- Both Teams to Score – Yes = Both the home and away teams score at least one goal each in the match.
For this bet to win:
- The away team must win the game.
- Both teams must score at least 1 goal.
Example:
Match: Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Boston Bruins
- You bet on: Boston Bruins (Away Team) to win AND both teams to score.
- Final score:
- 2-3 (Boston wins, both teams score) → Bet Wins
- 0-3 (Boston wins, but Toronto scores 0) → Bet Loses
- 3-2 (Toronto wins) → Bet Loses
Betting Tips:
- Check Scoring Records:
- Make sure both teams are regular goal scorers.
- Look at recent form and head-to-head stats: Are both teams usually scoring?
- Away Team Strength:
- The away team must have a strong chance of winning.
- Look for away teams that perform well even in tough venues.
- Avoid Strong Defensive Teams:
- Avoid matches where one team is known for shutouts or ultra-defensive play (e.g., 1–0 games).
- Goalie Matchups:
- Research the starting goalies. Backup goalies or inconsistent starters might lead to more goals.
- Home Team Motivation:
- If the home team is desperate (e.g., fighting for playoff spots), they are more likely to push forward and score at least once.
Ideal Games for This Bet:
- Teams with high scoring averages and leaky defences.
- Games between top-tier teams where both sides attack frequently.
- Away favourites with solid win records who tend to concede goals.
Avoid This Bet When:
- The home team is struggling to score.
- The away team is defensive-minded and wins with clean sheets.
- Low goal averages in past 5–6 games between the two.
Summary:
| Requirement | Condition |
|---|---|
| W2 | Away team must win |
| BTTS – Yes | Both teams must score at least one goal |
It’s a value-added bet combining outcome and goals — high risk, but also high reward if researched properly.
