Since this market is popular on many betting sites and not all are set the same, we will now explain how it is settled on Betano and why.
The market has two betting options: Yes or No.
For the selection Yes, the bet is a winner when both teams score, or more than 2.5 goals are scored in the match.
This means that:If both teams score, the bet is won
If there are more than 2.5 goals in the match, the bet is won
For the selection No, the bet is winning when neither happens, which analytically corresponds to one of the following scores: 2-0, 1-0, 0-0, 0-1, 0-2.
This means that:If both teams score, the bet is lost
If there are more than 2.5 goals, the bet is lost
If neither team scores, the bet is won
The logic behind the "Or" in the market title is simple: we cannot offer the same result on two markets for two different options (Yes or No).
If we offer Both Teams to Score as Yes for a win, then for No, we can only settle it as a win if both teams don’t score.
Likewise, if we offered Over 2.5 Goals for Yes as the winner, then for No, it can only be won if the teams do not score 2.5 goals.
