BTTS Odds Movements — Yes & No

The Both Teams To Score (BTTS) market is one of the clearest reads on goal expectation and game shape. Instead of focusing on who wins, BTTS tells you whether the market expects a traded, end-to-end game or a controlled, one-sided or low-event match.

We track BTTS Yes and No prices across the key windows: 48h → 24h → 60m → Close, so you can see how goal expectation evolves as information and money hit the market.

What we capture

• BTTS Yes / No back prices at 48h, 24h, 60m and Close
• Percentage steam/drift between windows (48→24, 24→60, 60→Close)
• Total move from 48h to Close for each outcome
• Move strength buckets (Mild, Medium, Strong Steam/Drift)

Why BTTS flows are powerful

BTTS reacts fast to: injuries to key forwards, missing creators, tactical setups, must-win vs must-not-lose dynamics, and even subtle weather changes. When you combine odds movements with context, you see how sure the market is about both sides getting on the scoresheet.

How to use it (Back BTTS Yes)

• BTTS Yes steaming (price dropping) → increasing confidence both teams will score.
• Best use cases:
  • attack-minded lineups confirmed on both sides
  • defensive absences (missing CBs, DMs, full-backs out of position)
  • matches where a draw is bad for both teams → higher risk tolerance

How to use it (Back BTTS No / Lay BTTS Yes)

• BTTS Yes drifting (price rising) often means reduced confidence in one side scoring.
• Best use cases:
  • one team rotates heavily in attack or rests key forwards
  • clear tactical mismatch: strong defence vs blunt attack
  • weather or pitch conditions suppressing attacking quality

Reading the BTTS signal

• Strong Steam on BTTS Yes (≥ −8%) → aggressive money for goals at both ends.
• Mild–Medium Steam (−1% to −8%) → consistent, disciplined confidence in BTTS.
• Stable odds → no strong view; market sees typical variance for the league/teams.
• Drift on BTTS Yes (+1% to +8%) → one side’s scoring threat being repriced down.
• Strong Drift (≥ +8%) → heavy anti-BTTS money; good hunting ground for BTTS No / lay Yes.

In short:
BTTS movements are goal-expectation tells.
Steam on Yes = belief in a traded, open game.
Steam on No = belief in control, dominance or a clean sheet scenario.

PRO Tips (BTTS Specialists)

• BTTS Yes steam + Over 2.5 steam → elite signal for high-variance, chance-heavy matches.
• BTTS No steam + Under steam → strong alignment for defensive, low-event game states.
• Late BTTS Yes steam (inside 60m) often follows attacking lineups or bench depth news.
• BTTS Yes drifting while favourite shortens → market expects a one-sided game; ideal for BTTS No.
• Combine BTTS moves with Draw movements: steam on BTTS Yes + Draw drift = market expecting goals and a winner.
