UPDATE: Who is 'In-the-money' right now??

More than a month after the announcement, and some word-of-the mouth publicity, here is an update...
There's is Rs.12K riding on me.. That is,
Rs.9K in my favour (finishing half marathon within 130 minutes) - Positive people, who believe in my determination and training ;)
Ashu Z - Rs.5K
Kaushik, Harshal, Rashmi Rajmane, Anand Soniminde - Rs. 1K each..

And, there are some who are more practical and experienced... But, they can be wrong (!)
Saurabh Agrawal, Vishal Agarwal, Kunal Rawal - Rs.1K each.
While Saurabh runs everyday at Shivaji Park, Vishal had run 21 km last year. Kunal has also been running the marathon and his best time is 2 hrs 15 mins..

So the odds are in my favour @ 3:1...

In terms of training,
I clocked 75 minutes for 15 km at Joggers' Park yesterday (05/12/09). After this performance, and to throw more excitement into the game, I am reducing the target time to 2 hrs 5 minutes..!!

So folks, game is on and the bets are open...!!

  1. Dude, if u go on reducing the target time then those who have bet in your favour might want to jump over to the other side.

    I'm simply pointing it out because if people start betting against you, then it will reduce the amount my potential winnings :)
