Assuming both bets are -110 (.5238) at 20c lines, no vig is +100 or .50, so true odds of both winning are (.50)(.50)=.25 or 25%

To break even you'd need to be getting 2.9'ish:1 on your $$$ to just break even and at 5D, payout is 2.64:1 @-110

So the play itself is actually -ev, unless the two separate bets are each +ev, then a 2-teamer can be +ev but usually -ev.
