Gambling odds for Kona?

Is anyone aware of any of the sports books taking bets on Kona? All my buddies bet on football, I want to bet on triathlon. Kona is like the Super Bowl.

British bookmakers were taking bets 3 years ago, when I was over there Kona weekend, I dropped 50 pounds on Chrissy…made myself 65

Not sure if they are available on-line, depends on where you live.

Well I know of three differences:

The Ironman doesn’t stop for ads

The Ironman Hawaii winner can legitimately call himself/herself the World Champion

There is a whole lot more drug taking involed in getting to the Superbowl

Now to the betting side of things,my money is on Macca…

Now you’re just trolling.

Admittedly, it’s not as bad as calling the champions of an almost purely domestic baseball series “World Champions”, but when it is a closed corporate series?, it can never be a true World Championship.

Is it the IRONMAN WORLD Championship? Absolutely.

In cheering for Jordan Rapp, but I’d bet it all on Crowe.

I think Russell Crowe is a long shot.

1.5 out of three isn’t bad.

As far as the betting, the only place domestically I can think of that might have odds on it would be the Imperial Palace sportsbook, they have prop bets and all sorts of weird events that other sportsbooks don’t carry. You’d have to be in Vegas, though.

Until the ITU come along and host thier own Iron distance world champs this is the only one in town,self proclaimed or not…I don’t like it much but it is the way it is whether you put Ironman in front of it or not…The M-Dot domination that everyone seems to love so much has created it so don’t shoot the messenger.
