    you put 100 that he will win it and you get back 450.
    you put 800 that he wont win and you get back 900. which is 100 dollar profit

    Almost correct, but i think you misspoke on the first one. Bet $100 to win $450, so you would get back $550.

    To put it in horseracing terms, the "Yes" is 9/2, while the "No" is 1/8.
