What does a both teams to score bet mean in hockey?

The bet wins if each team scores at least one goal. The score does not matter: 1:1 and 4:3 are “yes”, 2:0 is “no”. Bookmakers price it for the 60 minutes and for every period.

Does overtime change the result of the bet?

No. After 0:0 in the 60 minutes the game ends 1:0, so “no” stays “no”, and every other draw after 60 minutes already has goals from both teams. That is why the result is the same with and without overtime. Periods count only their own goals.

What the Both Teams Score module shows

For every hockey game of the day we show how often both teams score in the 60 minutes or in a chosen period, with a percentage for “yes” and for “no”. Next to it are the fair price from that percentage and the market's price, the median of the bookmakers' prices.

The list starts with the games that have a market price, from the highest percentage; the games without a price come after them. The game analysis shows the percentage and fair price for every part of the game, each team's percentage to score, both teams' recent games, their head-to-head meetings and the league against all leagues.

Where the percentage comes from

The league says the most: in the top leagues both teams score in the 60 minutes in about 86% of games, in the NHL in 90% and in the KHL in 84%. That is why the percentage starts from how often both teams scored in the league's games over two seasons, and the goal model moves it by as much as this game differs from an ordinary game in that league.

When there is a price, we combine this percentage with the market without its margin. Both teams' recent games and their head-to-head meetings are shown as background: checked on almost 28,000 games, they said no more than the league and the goal model.

What to watch for

In the 60 minutes both teams score in most games, so the price on “yes” is low: below 1.10 in half of the top leagues' games. In a period it is the other way round, as both teams score in it in about one game in three.

The market prices this bet accurately, and in our check we found no lasting edge over the price, so the module calls nothing value: the percentage, the fair price and the market's price stand side by side. The podium and the free picks come from top-flight leagues only. It is a statistic, not a certainty.
