Meaning of “1X and Both Teams To Score – No”
This betting option combines two markets in one bet:
- 1X means the home team will either win (1) or draw (X).
→ The away team must NOT win. - Both Teams To Score – No (BTTS – No) means at least one team fails to score.
So,for your bet to win, both of these must happen:
- The home team wins or draws (the away team doesn’t win), and
- At least one team doesn’t score (it could end 0–0, 1–0, 2–0, etc.).
Example With a Player (and Match Scenario)
Let’s use Manchester United vs Aston Villa as an example.
You place a bet:
Bet Type: 1X and Both Teams To Score – No
Odds: 2.10
Stake: ₦1,000
Possible Results:
| Match Result | Outcome | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Man United 2–0 Aston Villa | Win | Man United won (1) + Aston Villa didn’t score (BTTS – No) |
| Man United 0–0 Aston Villa | Win | It’s a draw (X) + both teams didn’t score |
| Man United 1–1 Aston Villa | Lose | Both teams scored (BTTS – Yes) |
| Aston Villa 1–0 Man United | Lose | Away team won (no 1X) |
| Aston Villa 2–1 Man United | Lose | Away team won + both scored |
Understanding It Through a Player’s Eye
Imagine you’re a bettor focusing on Marcus Rashford (Manchester United forward).
You expect:
- Rashford’s team (Man United) to dominate or at least avoid defeat,
- The defense to be tight, conceding no goals or keeping a clean sheet.
This bet makes sense if:
- Rashford’s team is strong at home,
- Opponents struggle to score away,
- You expect a low-scoring or one-sided match.
Example Matches That Fit This Bet
- Manchester City vs Burnley – City rarely lose at home and often keep clean sheets → good for “1X and BTTS – No”.
- Barcelona vs Getafe – Barça strong at home, Getafe score few away → good pick.
- Arsenal vs Liverpool – both attack well → risky (likely BTTS – Yes).
Betting Tips
- Check Defensive Form
Look for teams with strong defenses or goalkeepers who often keep clean sheets. - Check Opponent’s Away Record
If the away team rarely scores away, “BTTS – No” is more likely. - Avoid Open, Attacking Teams
Teams like Liverpool, Bayern Munich, or PSG often have BTTS results — not ideal. - Favour Home Advantage
“1X” already covers win or draw, so it’s safest when the home team is solid and confident at home. - Combine with Team Stats
- Home team’s clean sheet %
- Away team’s scoring record
- Head-to-head history
Summary
| Term | Meaning |

| BTTS – No | At least one team doesn’t score |
| You Win If: | Home team doesn’t lose AND at least one team fails to score |
| Best For: | Matches where home team is defensively strong and away team struggles to score |
