The match result & both teams to score market has over the last year become extremely popular after William Hill launched the coupon; which sees massively inflated odds for betting on a combination of two markets in one.

As we’ve already explained with the match betting and both teams to score articles, they are the two most popular football bet markets of recent times. Recently William Hill were the first bookmaker to a combination of the two markets into one overall bet, and during the later months of 2013 many UK punters were taking William Hill to the cleaners with massive winnings from multi-legged accumulators filled with bets of this type.
The premise of the bet is to choose that both teams will score in the match as well as picking the correct result of home win, away win or draw. You’re asking a lot when picking selections (especially if you fit them into an accumulator), but the market is extremely rewarding if you’re lucky enough to get it right. But what you’re looking for is a score line at 1-1 or above if you chose a draw, or 2-1 or above either side if you’re picking a winner.
An Example of Match Result & Both Teams to Score
From the above William Hill web page example you can see how most games are odds against the possibility of the bet happening. For the selections made on the page, the punter would be hoping for all eight teams involved to score within the 90 minute time frame and then get the result right.
Other bookmakers have followed suit but for the best value on this market it still looks as though William Hill still lead the way. Sky Bet offers the market on selected fixtures but don’t offer the option to punters to pick out a score draw, which can limit the potential for earning big cash.
Obviously you do still have the options to pick out single matches and stake your money on one market, or there is always the possibility to throw in one or a combination of these bets to significantly boost the odds on an accumulator bet.
Teams who score a lot of goals or have weak defences are often the best teams to include, but while that doesn’t always promise goals – the odds are extremely tempting to take advantage of.
