    How often does a 2 point overdog lose on the moneyline

    I am trying to figure out whats the chances of a 2 point overdog losing to a 2 point under dog. and im just taking about losing not ties.

    Perhaps, no one has tracked that to the extent of being able to give you an estimate.

    Betpoints: 44

    It doesnt matter. A ML that large should never be played. But if i had to guess id say 1 in 40 shot

    thats the same thing i was thinking about a 1/40 shot of the underdog beating the over dog or about 2% chance of it happening

    i was wondering because i wqas going to try out asome bets where i put some money on the overdog ML and on the Tie ML and make it to where i make a profit if any of these two happen. Only with teams that have a spread of 2 points though. these bets normally yield like 4%-8%. The EV is positive at a 3% loss rate.
    Ex using $1000 we will use a yield rate of 5%

    .97($50)+.03(-$1000)= $18.5

    48.5-30= 18.5
