Online
casino sportsbook,

Olympic champion, American
Meb Keflezighi and world
record holder Paul Tergat of
Kenya will battle it out
over 26 miles against
defending New York Marathon
winner Hendrik Ramaala of
South Africa. With this,
many online casino players
will be paying attention.
Sportsbook.com has posted
Over/Under odds on the men's
winning time at 2:09:45 and
the women's winning time at
2:23:50. Head to head odds
have been added in the men's
race which features the most
dominant runners in recent
world competition.
Regardless of who wins the
race, bettors can choose
between Ramaala or
Keflezighi and Tergat or
Keflezighi for who will
perform best on Sunday.
The
New York City Marathon is
one of the biggest and most
popular of all marathon
races and online casino
players love betting on
sports - this is no
exception to the matter
either.
Historically,
Hendrik
Ramaala had a reputation for
dominating 10 kilometer foot
races and half marathons,
but in 2004 he changed that
by winning the New York
Marathon. He won again in
April racing in the London
Marathon with a personal
best time of 2:08:32, making
him the man to beat in 2005.
The
US favorite, and Olympic
vet, Meb Keflezighi has a
silver medal from Athens,
holds the U.S. record for
the 10 kilometer distance,
and is looking to better his
runner-up finish in the 2004
New York City Marathon.
Paul
Tergat is the most awarded
marathoner to enter this
weekend's race. With records
and medals from the Olympic
Games, World Track and Field
Championships, IAAF World
Cross Country Championships,
and a veteran on the
International marathon
circuit, at 36, Tergat is
looking to prove that his
reign is not over yet.
