A marathon event that is one of America’s most well-known, the Boston Marathon is set for Monday, April 17th and Bovada has gotten in on the action. Per one outlet, the world’s greatest marathoner, Eliud Kipchoge, will be racing in the event for the first time on Monday which has brought a ton of additional attention to the famous race. This is further reinforced by the fact that Bovada will be offering betting lines on race for the first time ever. Moreover, per the site, Kipchoge is currently listed at even money to win the Boston Marathon from the Bovada sportsbook. One website even suggested that if you think that the famous marathoner can win this race more than 50% of the time, you should bet on him.
For this article, SBS will be going over what to look for from the latest gaming news from Bovada and also some more thoughts about the betting website.
Analysts of both marathon racing and also track and field have long marveled at Kipchoge’s dominance on various running circuits. For instance, Jonathan Gault of LetsRun.com had this to say regarding the runner’s chances at the Boston Marathon: “I offer you a million dollars and I say, you have to bet this on one of two outcomes. Eliud Kipchoge wins the race or someone else wins the race. Who are you betting on?” His co-host, Weldon Johnson, then responded that “it’s easy” that Kipchoge would win the race and that “he will be better than even money.”
What is interesting is that this comment was made last Thursday and at that time, Kipchoge was exactly even money on the main Bovada website. The two athletes trailing him at that time were Benson Kipruto and Evans Chebet both at +550. One website said that Kipchoge will win more than 50% of the time though one of their top analysts did contradict this by saying that Kipchoge will not win the Boston Marathon despite what the experts are predicting.
In one report, the 38-year-old’s dominance was outlined very succinctly and explains why Bovada has positioned him as even odds to win the Boston race. Kipchoge has bested all comers in his marathon career and his career numbers are astounding. For example, if you were to cut his marathon career in half, either half would be better than anyone else in the history of the sport. This is showcased by his winning 17 of the 19 marathons he has ever competed in when accounting for his sub-2:00 attempts. While he is perhaps a bit older than some of the field, he recently just set the world record last year in Berlin at the age of 37, his most recent race. With that in mind, one report did point out that he has never won on a hill marathon course like what he will face Monday in Boston.
