Posted on 11-04-2008 | Posted in Betting by Gambling Diva
A very high percentage of people that participate in the Flora London Marathon do not plan to win it! Of the 30,000 people running, jogging or walking, only a few athletes can win. Here’s a quick run-through of the top participants and their best odds:
- M. Lel - 3/1 Sportingbet
- S. Wanjiru - 4/1 Coral
- F. Limo - 13/2 Skybet
- A Goumri - 9/1 Sportingbet
- E. Mutai - 10/1 Ladbrokes
- R. Hall - 14/1 Skybet
- D. Merga - 16/1 Skybet
- P. Tergat - 16/1 Bet365
- H. Ramaala - 16/1 Boylesports
- J. Gharib - 20/1 Bet365
The favourite, Martin Lel is chasing his third London Marathon win in only 4 years. He made history last year, becoming the first person to win both the London and New York marathons in the same year.
There are five Kenyans in the field and four of them hold the fastest personal bests. Will they win again? If you’re going to sit at home on Sunday and watch the hours tick by watching the marathon why not put some cash on one of the top runners and make it more exciting!
