Cotto bet?

[HurricaneEddy]

Well, here is the deal- I think Cotto will most likely win this fight by decision but I'm not totally sold on any outcome. I wasn't planning on betting this fight at all because I can see this going a few different ways and I really dont have a great read on it. However, my co-worker wants to bet me $200 straight up on this fight (because I told him I slightly favor Cotto). He thinks Margo wins convincingly. Now, I'm wondering is taking Cotto at +100 for $200 worthwhile for me? I'd like your opinions on this matter. Does Cotto have a better than 50% chance of winning this or is this a true pick-em (I'm not talking about sportsbook odds, either. Screw what Vegas says)

Thanks

Take your friend's bet for $200 and then bet $100 on Margarito with your book.
If Cotto wins, you profit $100.
If Marg wins, you break even.
This is a no-lose situation for you.

Margarito SU? This co-worker's elevator is not making it to the top floor. I would mortgage my house and take that all day. Paulie is right-you can't lose. He is giving you the scalp of the century. Personally I like Miguel Cotto for what it's worth. I feel Cotto is STILL improving, whereas Margarito is what he is, a done deal. Tough as nails to be sure, but a tad sloppy for my taste. Reckless and throws looping shots and he leaves himself open too often. Play OVER 9.5-175; Cotto by decision.
