Marathon Prop Bet 2017
Hey guys, so in my stupid, overzealous and cocky mind I have somehow ended up making a prop bet to complete Dublin Marathon 2017 in 4 hours. I think the date is the 30th Oct 2017 or so.
Terms of the bet:
2.5/1, 4 hours time limit. I cannot seek professional advice or have a regular running partner.
One off partners are fine, and no-one is allowed to run with me during the actual race.
If I get injured I need a doctors confirmation to say I am unable to participate in the race.
If an act of God occurs, such as me dying/not getting a place in the marathon the bet is void.
Background on me:
I'm 22, used to be fairly fit and played GAA alot from I was 14-18 and then went to University and discovered alcohol & pizza deliveries. Put on a decent amount of weight, have hardly trained since. Been trying to find a way to get back to good fitness levels but failed so far. Started new job in Dublin 2 months ago and wanting to get fit again!
Last time I made a fitness goal I set was at the beginning of the year:
- Run 5km in 23 mins (the last run/walk I did this in 43 mins)
Which pretty much failed miserably with the bankroll challenge I was doing!!
So, to try and motivate me to do this stupid thing I'm open to taking on more bets with the same T&C.
Min bet €50, I'll probably only take on another €200-300 max. Will possibly ask some PokerVIP mod to escrow the bets at a certain date.
If anyone fancys a punt this is definitely a +EV scenario..
