Or you could bet 472 on the +112 line and profit about 28 bucks either way, unless there is a push.

You certainly could. But it wouldn't change your EV all that much, just further reduce variance (you would win .5X each time, instead of winning X half the time).
I just take the +112 for a nickel, and lay the fav to win a nickel. I win twice as much, half as often--but I'll get $500 bet in, as opposed to $470, which gives me a step up on bonus clearing.
Of course, I'm also at the $12 level. If we were talking about $1200, I might feel differently.
