Goal Goal fondly called GG in sports betting is the option that both teams would score a goal each. That means you stake on both teams to score.

Straight Win on the other hand implies that you pick one of the teams to win in the match.

Which of the options between GG and Straight Win do you think is more risky?
 
Steaight win is more risky because you have more than one option especially in sports that include draw like football. The probability of straight win happening in football is 1/3 but the probability of GG happening is 1/2. Mathematically, it is more risky to bet on straight win in football.
 
The likelihood of two teams scoring (GG) stands at about 1/2, as there are quite a number of matches with the potential of both teams scoring goals.
