Well that's quite the upset

Anywhere to watch live online?

predicted YES

"With 15 victories out of his 17 marathons, Kipchoge's only losses have been a second-place finish behind Wilson Kipsang Kiprotich at the 2013 Berlin Marathon, where Kipsang broke the world record, and an eighth-place finish at the 2020 London Marathon."

predicted YES

Also a reminder that the market closes before the race will be over.

predicted YES

NO holders, I’m curious. Do you think he’s likely to drop or bonk? Who do you think has a serious shot at outranking him—Chebet? Desisa? That would be quite the upset.

@NicoDelon I'm just arbitraging against this market:


He is obviously the best marathoner in the field (world). I think ~75-80 % is about right. Maybe it up to 85 %. A London marathon situation is not unthinkable, and Boston is a course where more surprises can happen than Berlin.

predicted NO

@howtodowtle By the way, appreciating all the running markets. :)

@NicoDelon I didn't know anything, just assumed that was a high percentage for one person in any race with so many competitors

predicted YES

@KevinBurke That’s fair. But he’s won 88% of the marathons he’s started (89 if you count his two sub-2 hours attempts). It’s Boston, it’s tricky, and anything could happen, he’s the man to beat.
