Salem Celebrates Twenty Exciting Years of Hoopla

The primary version of this doesn’t affect what the final score is, how many goals there are or which side wins, as long as both teams score at least one goal each, meaning there needs to be a minimum scoreline of 1-1 by the time the games reached the full ninety minutes.

As there’s far less at stake and plenty more time for your bet to land, BTTS bets are arguably even more worth doing than match result bets.
