“W1 And Both To Score – Yes” in Football Sports Betting Explained with Examples + Betting Tips

Meaning of “W1 and Both Teams to Score – Yes”

This betting option combines two conditions in a single bet:

1. W1 (Win 1) – The home team must win the match.
2. Both Teams to Score – Yes (BTTS – Yes) – Both the home and away teams must score at least one goal.

For your bet to win:

• The home team wins the match (e.g. 2–1, 3–2, 4–3).
• Both teams must score at least once.

Your bet loses if:

• The away team wins or the match ends drawn.
• Or if either team fails to score.

Example With Teams and Player Context

Let’s take an example:

Match:
Arsenal (Home) vs Chelsea (Away)

Bet: W1 and Both Teams to Score – Yes

Scenario:

• Arsenal have strong home form with attacking players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, who often score or assist.
• Chelsea have a shaky defense but dangerous attackers like Cole Palmer who can score on the counter.

Final Score:
Arsenal 3 – 1 Chelsea

Arsenal won (W1)
Both teams scored (BTTS – Yes)

Your bet wins because Arsenal (home) won and both sides found the net.

---

Losing Example

Match:
Arsenal 2 – 0 Chelsea

Both teams didn’t score (Chelsea failed to).
So even though Arsenal won (W1), your bet loses because BTTS condition failed.

Why Bettors Choose This Market

This market offers higher odds than just betting on a team to win because it combines two outcomes.
It’s perfect when:

• The home team is likely to win but has a weak defense, and
• The away team usually scores even when they lose.

How to Analyze Before Betting

1. Check Home Team’s Form:
   • Are they strong at home? (e.g. Man City, Arsenal, Real Madrid)
   • Do they usually concede at least one goal?
2. Check Away Team’s Attack:
   • Even if they’re underdogs, do they score regularly?
   • Teams like Brighton, Brentford, or Atalanta often score in defeats.
3. Head-to-Head Stats:
   • Look for matches where both teams usually score.
4. Player Fitness & Form:
   • If key attackers like Haaland, Mbappé, or Salah are fit, BTTS chances increase.
   • If the away team is missing top strikers, BTTS risk is higher.

Betting Tips

1. Avoid one-sided matches (like Man City vs a small team). Those often end 3–0 or 4–0 → BTTS fails.
2. Look for mid-table clashes — teams that attack more freely and defend less.
3. Use team stats apps (like FlashScore, SofaScore) to check “Both Teams to Score” percentages.
4. Check weather and pitch conditions — bad pitches or heavy rain often reduce goals.
5. Bet live (in-play) — if the game starts open with early chances from both sides, odds for W1 + BTTS improve after 10–15 minutes.

Example of a Good Betting Spot

Match: Liverpool vs Brighton

• Liverpool strong at home → likely to win.
• Brighton always attack and rarely keep clean sheets.

Prediction: W1 and Both Teams to Score – Yes

Possible result: 3–1 Liverpool → Bet wins.
