Default Game I Made Up

I was bored, so I made up this game to play with my friend the other day:

we each pick a whole number and write it down

then we compare numbers, call the larger of the two numbers L, and the smaller of the two S

the player who picked the smaller number pays the other player 100-L+S cents (negative meaning he recieves money instead of paying)

if we both pick the same number it's a tie of course

it's a pretty fun game, can anyone devise an unbeatable strategy? (as in guarantee that your EV is not negative)
