I don't often bet on the London Marathon or anything athletics related usually, let alone give betting tips and advice, so bear that in mind.After a bit of athletics/marathon based research, I'll have a small play on a couple of decent priced runners in the men's and women's races. It'll give me a reason to watch the race on tele. I originally searched for marathon betting tips etc, but couldn't find anything worthwhile to bet on, so I decided to back my own picks instead. I'll be backing them win only, but each way punters are welcome to play in the marathon markets at 1/5 the odds, places 1, 2, 3.
