What “1X and Both Teams To Score – Yes” Means
The bet “1X and Both Teams To Score – Yes” combines two outcomes in one ticket:
- 1X → The home team must either win (1) or draw (X).
That means the away team must not win. - Both Teams To Score – Yes (BTTS – Yes) → Both teams must score at least one goal each in the match.
For your bet to win:
- The home team must not lose (win or draw)
- And both teams must score at least once.
If either condition fails, your bet loses.
Example
Match Example:
Manchester United vs Chelsea
You bet on:
“1X and Both Teams To Score – Yes”
Let’s look at possible outcomes:
| Match Result | Manchester United Win/Draw? | Both Teams Score? | Bet Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Man Utd 2 – 1 Chelsea | Yes (Home win) | Yes | Win |
| Man Utd 1 – 1 Chelsea | Yes (Draw) | Yes | Win |
| Man Utd 0 – 1 Chelsea | No (Home lose) | No | Lose |
| Man Utd 2 – 0 Chelsea | Yes (Home win) | No | Lose |
So, your bet wins only if the home team doesn’t lose and both teams find the net.
Example with a Player in Focus
Let’s use Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) as an example:
Suppose Liverpool (home) face Tottenham (away).
You bet: 1X and Both Teams To Score – Yes
- Salah is in great scoring form at Anfield.
- Liverpool’s defense often concedes due to their attacking style.
- Tottenham has a strong attack with Son and Richarlison.
This means:
- High chance both teams score
- Liverpool likely to avoid defeat (1X)
So this bet suits this type of game — attacking teams with goal threats on both sides.
When to Use This Bet
Use “1X and BTTS – Yes” when:
- The home team is strong and rarely loses at home.
- The away team also scores regularly, even against top clubs.
- Both teams have attacking-minded players but sometimes weak defenses.
Perfect for matches like:
- Arsenal vs Aston Villa
- Liverpool vs Newcastle
- Real Madrid vs Girona
When to Avoid
Avoid this market when:
- The home team plays defensive or low-scoring football.
- The away team struggles to score goals.
- The match involves huge strength differences, e.g. Man City vs a small club.
Betting Tips
- Check Recent Form:
Look at both teams’ last 5 games — did both teams usually score? - Analyze Home/Away Stats:
- Home team’s home record (do they concede often?)
- Away team’s away record (do they score often?)
- Focus on Key Attackers:
If top scorers like Salah, Haaland, or Watkins are playing, chances of both teams scoring rise. - Avoid Cup or Knockout Matches:
Teams play more carefully — fewer goals. - Combine Smartly:
Don’t add too many “1X & BTTS” bets on one slip; two or three is enough for value and lower risk.

| Inter vs Napoli | 1X & BTTS – Yes | 2.10 | Lose |
