If I put down $100 on Jones and $100 down on Cormier is it a win-win?

You need to put more something like $1000 on each.
 
No....bet a $1000, cant lose
 
If you bet each to win $100, if Jones wins you'll break even, if DC wins you'll lose $20 (going by the above -165/+145 odds).

Its pretty much a win-win the way I see it

Either way I'm coming out wish some cash

The short answer is no you won't win either way.
 
If you bet each to win $100, if Jones wins you'll break even, if DC wins you'll lose $20 (going by the above -165/+145 odds).

math genius right here.
 
I actually had a friend post this about a rugby game on facebook before as if he too had found the secret to fat stacks.
 
I shoulda woulda coulda bet on Cormier when he was +215 except I'm not in Vegas.

For Jones win you have to bet $165 to make $100.
For Cormier win $100 gets you $145

...according to the odds you listed. I just watched a youtube vid on this so now I'm an expert!

i dont think you understand how the bets work, you are just gonna end up paying a "moron tax" if you will.
 
you're betting $200 in total

if cormier wins you get back $245

if jones wins you get back $161

i think that's correct

This looks like the right math to me.

BUT, I'm sure that if you would have timed your bet right on Cormier you could have found a way to bet now on Jones to guarantee yourself to win money no matter what.
