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.

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.
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.
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.

FAQ
Common mix-ups.
- Can I bet both?
You can, but correlated outcomes inflate variance. Small bankrolls should pick the clearer edge — see bankroll management.
- Where do corners fit?
Corners are a different distribution. Do not infer BTTS from corners projections alone.
