Understanding GG/NG in Betting
One of the most popular betting options is GG/NG, also known as Both Teams to Score (BTTS). When it comes to sports betting, understanding the key terms of this betting market can play a vital role in making better informed decisions. GG/NG appeals to both new and seasoned bettors, as it is simple to understand and brings a whole new level of excitement to the game.
What makes this market so popular is that it applies to a wide range of football matches, from both top leagues and lower divisions as well. In simple words, GG/NG betting revolves around predicting whether both teams participating in a match will score at least one goal (GG) or if one or both teams fail to find the back of the net (NG).
But how can these terms shape your betting strategy? The following guide provided by Campeonbet has the answers to all your questions, so let’s break it down.
GG (Goal-Goal)
GG can also stand for “good game”, and its use in the world of sports has a similar meaning depending on which side you are on. As mentioned above, Goal-Goal (GG) refers to a bet that wins if both teams score at least one goal, regardless of the final result. So, if there are goals scored, you win!
But when is GG a favorable betting option? One of the most standard choices is to bet on teams that either have a strong attacking play or struggle defensively and frequently concede goals. Another alternative is to look for football leagues that feature high average goal counts.
NG (No Goal-Goal)
On the other hand, No Goal-Goal (NG) is exactly what the name suggests. To be more specific, NG refers to a bet that wins if one or both teams does not score any goals. That means that if the match result is 0-0, 1-0, 0-2 etc., then the bet is successful. However, if both teams score, then the NG bet is unsuccessful.
If you think that NG is not the safest option, you should reconsider. As with most betting markets, you just need to know where and when to bet. Low-scoring leagues with teams that are known for their solid defensive tactics are often the smartest choice.
Examples of GG/NG Bets
Now that we have established some groundwork, it’s time to take a look at some examples that will further your understanding of the GG/NG bets.
We begin with a GG bet from a Champions League match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Both teams are known for their formidable attacking style of play, therefore, a GG bet would be a good option, especially during the League phase, where the goal count plays a critical role in the final ranking.
An NG bet, on the other hand, could be a bit risky for these two teams, but it could work in case these teams meet in any knockout stage. If you wish to place an NG bet, then you should consider teams known for their defensive style, like Inter Milan FC.
When betting on Nigerian teams, both GG and NG bets can be a good choice. With strong attacking teams like Remo Stars or Ikorodu City for example, there is a high chance they will score against their rival teams.
Strategic Tips for Betting GG/NG
Here at Campeonbet, we believe that understanding any betting market is one thing. Applying smart betting strategies is perhaps even more important when placing GG/NG bets. The following strategic tips will show you the way.
Look at Head-to-Head Results
Before you place any GG/NG bet, it’s important to do your homework. That means that you need to take a look at previous matchups between teams, as certain fixtures consistently produce high or low-scoring games. If you notice that both teams have been scoring consistently, then a GG bet might be the better choice.
Analyze Team Defenses and Team Form
When betting on GG/NG markets, analyzing team statistics can prove crucial in order to make more informed decisions. The process of analyzing includes key factors such as defensive records, recent performances, and goal-scoring trends. Missing key players can also influence the potential outcome of a match, as such absence can either reduce a team’s goal threat or weaken their defense. You should also keep in mind that these factors can be altered during the course of the match. With Campeonbet there are many live betting options, so you can place your GG/NG bets based on how the match unfolds.
Check Weather and Pitch Conditions
Sometimes you have indeed done your research, checked previous matchups between teams, and analyzed recent performances. And yet, quite often, some external factors can make it harder for teams to score. Such factors could be heavy rain, intense wind, and poor pitch quality. In such cases, the NG bets might prove to be the smarter choice.
Use GG/NG with Other Betting Markets
GG/NG betting is fun, but did you know that it can be even more exciting and rewarding? All you have to do is apply the right strategy. With our Bet Builder option you can simply combine these bets with other markets in order to maximize value.
One option is to combine GG/NG bets with the Double Chance market. This combination allows you to cover multiple outcomes while still betting on goals. More specifically, bettors can select two outcomes from the three possible results (home win, draw, or away win) and also predict whether both teams will score in the match.
Another option is the Over/Under market. For example, combining a GG bet with Over 2.5 Goals is a great choice when a high-scoring match is expected. In a similar sense, when you expect a defensive showdown, the option of an NG bet with Under 2.5 Goals is ideal.
If you want to have even more strategic betting opportunities, you should consider combining your GG/NG bets with the First Half/Second Half market. This approach allows bettors to refine their predictions by determining not just whether the teams will score, but also in which half they will do so.
