GG and NG meaning in betting: both teams to score, read off the slip

GG in betting is a yes to one question: will both sides find the net before the final whistle? The scoreline does not matter beyond that. 1-1, 2-1, 3-2 and 4-4 all pay. Betway Ghana's rules describe the market's objective as correctly predicting whether both teams will score in the match. On apps written in English the same market is labelled Both Teams To Score, or BTTS, with Yes in place of GG.

A GH₵20 stake on GG at 1.80 returns GH₵36 if both teams score, whoever wins. Picture Hearts leading Medeama 1-0 until the 88th minute and Medeama equalising: GG lands. The odds in this piece are illustrations, not a price from any operator.

NG in betting is the no. It wins whenever at least one team fails to score, so 0-0, 1-0, 0-3 and 5-0 are all NG results. Some slip guides describe NG as neither team scoring. That reading is wrong for the market as bookmakers settle it: the question is both teams, and a 2-0 answers it with a no. A GH₵20 stake on NG at 1.95 returns GH₵39 on any of those scorelines.

Look for GG/NG as the market name, with GG and NG as the two selections under it. On one app the selection reads NG, on another it reads No, and on a third it reads BTTS No. They settle the same way.

GG combos pair the market with a second condition in one selection. GG and Over 2.5 asks for both teams to score and at least three goals in total. A 2-1 wins; a 1-1 does not, because it is only two goals. 1X and GG asks for the home side to win or draw and both teams to score. A 2-1 or a 1-1 wins. A 2-0 fails the GG half, and a 1-2 fails the 1X half.

Both halves must land, which is why the price is higher. GH₵20 on Kotoko v Hearts at 1X and GG priced 2.60 returns GH₵52, against GH₵36 on GG alone at 1.80. The extra GH₵16 is payment for the second condition, and the second condition is a second way to lose. Pulse Ghana's February 2026 piece on EPL and GPL betting lists BTTS beside home win, draw, away win and over/under as the picks punters here combine most. A slip that stacks GG across five EPL matches at 1.80 each multiplies to about 18.9. GH₵20 would return roughly GH₵378 if all five land, and nothing if one side blanks in any of them.

GG and NG bets are settled on the 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Betway Ghana's rules say all match markets are based on the result at the end of a scheduled 90 minutes unless otherwise stated. Extra time, a penalty shootout and golden goal are excluded. A knockout tie at 0-0 after 90 minutes that finishes 1-1 in extra time is NG on the slip. The same goes for an AFCON or World Cup tie decided on penalties: the shootout goals never touch the GG line.

Check your operator's wording on own goals and on abandoned matches before you rely on either. Betway's page voids any match abandoned before 90 minutes are completed, with bets already decided at that point still standing. If you want to watch the match while a GG bet runs, the live streaming betting sites page lists which licensed apps carry pictures. The ranking of betting sites in Ghana shows which brands hold a Gaming Commission licence. Betting is for adults aged 18 and over; the Gaming Commission's line is 0800 454 545 if betting stops being fun.
