Online casino sports lovers pay attention to this. Sportsbook.com has posted odds on the 2005 New York City marathon which takes place this weekend. 2004 Olympic champion, American Meb Keflezighi and world record holder Paul Tergat of Kenya will battle it out over 26 miles against defending New York Marathon winner Hendrik Ramaala of South Africa.

Sportsbook.com has posted Over/Under odds on the men's winning time at 2:09:45 and the women's winning time at 2:23:50. Head to head odds have been added in the men's race which features the most dominant runners in recent world competition. Regardless of who wins the race, bettors can choose between Ramaala or Keflezighi and Tergat or Keflezighi for who will perform best on Sunday.

In the past Hendrik Ramaala had a reputation for dominating 10 kilometer races and half marathons, but in 2004 he changed that by winning the New York Marathon. Ramaala won again in April racing in the London Marathon with a personal best time of 2:08:32, making him the man to beat in 2005.

American favorite, and Olympic veteran, Meb Keflezighi has a silver medal from Athens, holds the U.S. record for the 10 kilometer distance, and is looking to better his runner-up finish in the 2004 New York City Marathon.

Paul Tergat is the most decorated marathoner to enter this weekend's race. With records and medals from the Olympic Games, World Track and Field Championships, IAAF World Cross Country Championships, and a veteran on the International marathon circuit, at 36, Tergat is looking to prove that his reign is not over yet.
