overbooking segment question

When i will be in the USA on Sep, sometimes i desire for the overbooking flights.

How about JAN-ATL DL 5198, LAS-BOS via ATL or JFK r/t?

My experience is overbooked by DL lax-dtw, jan-atl CRJ 700, atl-rdu etc.

You can't tell at booking if a flight will be overbooked.
If it is overbooked, usually they zero out FC and UG classes, and the flight is usually already under airport control!
(Besides, paying an extortionate amount of money for full Y for sometimes unusable 3x200 vouchers is not worth it, unless it's not my money. Even then, I tend not to waste client money.)

I think OP is asking for guesses on flights likely to be oversold.
