Let’s break down No/No in football sports betting with simple explanation, real examples, and betting tips.
What Does No/No Mean in Football Betting?
No/No usually appears in the Both Teams to Score in Each Half (BTTS in Both Halves) market.
- No/No means:
Neither team will score in the 1st half AND neither team will score in the 2nd half. - In other words, the bet wins if the full match ends 0–0 (a goalless draw).
Example with Teams
Let’s say we bet on Chelsea vs Fulham – Market: Both Halves BTTS (Yes/Yes or No/No)
- If we pick No/No, here’s what must happen:
- 1st Half → No team scores (0–0 at HT).
- 2nd Half → Still no team scores (0–0 at FT).
Final Score Example: Chelsea 0–0 Fulham → Bet Wins.
If Chelsea scores just one goal (e.g., 1–0 final), the bet loses because there was a goal in one half.
More Match Scenarios
- Arsenal 0–0 Brighton → Win
- Liverpool 1–0 Wolves → Lose (Liverpool scored in 2nd half)
- Inter Milan 0–0 Juventus → Win
- Man City 2–0 Aston Villa → Lose (goals scored)
Betting Tips for No/No
- Pick Defensive Teams
- Teams known for low-scoring matches (e.g., Atlético Madrid, Juventus, Fulham).
- Check Team Form
- If both sides struggle to score or rely heavily on defense, 0–0 is more likely.
- Weather & Pitch Conditions
- Heavy rain, poor pitch, or very defensive tactical setups can increase 0–0 chances.
- Better for Underdogs
- Smaller teams playing away against stronger teams often aim for a goalless draw.
- Odds Value
- No/No usually offers high odds (7.00 – 12.00+) because 0–0 is rare.
- Best used as a small stake “long-shot” bet, not a main strategy.
Example Good Picks for No/No:
- Matches like Everton vs Burnley (both low-scoring sides).
- International qualifiers where teams “play safe” (e.g., Iceland vs Liechtenstein).
Would you like me to also create a chart showing how No/No compares to Yes/Yes, Yes/No, and No/Yes outcomes so you can visually see when each bet wins or loses?
