BTTS vs over/under: same scoreline model, different questions.

Both-teams-to-score asks whether each side finds the net. Over/under asks how many goals land in total. Those answers can disagree — a 2–0 projection loves the under more than BTTS yes. Use one projected scoreline distribution to price both, then compare books.

Decision frame

Read the projected scoreboard first.

01

Low-scoring one-sided

Projection like 1.7–0.6: under and BTTS no often align; BTTS yes needs a real path for the dog.

02

Open, both attack

Projection like 1.6–1.4: BTTS yes and over 2.5 can both be live — pick the market with the better price vs fair.

03

High total, one blank risk

Projection like 2.4–0.9: overs can clear while BTTS yes stays fragile if the favorite blanks the visitor.
