    Would this bet be +EV?
    Team A -105
    Team B -105
    Team A +1.5 -141
    Team B -1.5 +131

    Based on historical data the margin of victory is 2 or more goals 79.35% of the time

    Using my logic assuming the ML is accurate team b has a 50% win probablity, and when winning will cover the spread 80% of the time meaning a roughly 40% chance of covering the spread making a fair line of +150.
    Would this make Team A +1.5 -141 a +EV play since the line implys a probability of 58.5% rather than the 60% I have calculated?

    Thanks for any help

    Games where the ML-implied prob. is 50/50 may have a lower % chance of having a M.O.V. > 1 than do those games with heavy favorites.

      Very true. I suppose overall I am oversimplifying the situation and before I can start to find edges need to take into consideration more factors.
