According to www.twitter.com/BoostedJ there was a spur of the moment bet involving Ashman (Ashton Griffin) where "almost $1M" was bet against him being able to run 70 miles in 24 hours. He apparently just won it with 45 minutes left to spare.

Sicko.

Here is the blog post about it. Just linking here for convenience.

Rules:
1. Don't grunch. Read more than 15 words of the thread before commenting please.
2. If you comment about a stupid 20 minute mile walking pace you will be infracted. If you don't understand why then go back to #1 please.
3. New addition: Please don't quote posts from February with some counter-argument. It's annoying...and also silly to argue about something that was sai several months ago. Plus, your point was probably made by 10 other people already.

OMFG

Boosted said he bet on Ashton to win, so it sounds like about $1M was laid against it happening, not sure what the line was

Was it Boosted that bet $1mil and Ashton bet some more or is $1mil the total action? Would be interesting to see how much in $$ incentive Ashton needed to take on this challenge. More details would be good though. like what he ate, how much rest he got, if he trained for it or it was go after the bet was discussed etc

Anyway, Ashton is a ****ing sicko!

so effing sick

BALLA

insane

He prob bet against himself.

The bet was ashmans 900k vs Haseebs 300k

sick!

Ashton is a purebred filthy animal...BEAST!

Is my math right ? 20.57 mins a mile? OMG that is crazy

Would like more details on the run itself...like where'd he go, how'd they track him. Sounds pretty sick in any case.

to emphasize how much heart ashman has, this is a text i got when he was 30 miles in...

Treadmill

Another note is the night before they went out and partied and ashman only slept ~4 hours

So Ashman did this for 300k but Boosted won close to 700k? Boosted runs good in life with his friends

Tomorrow :

RIP Ashman

wasnt he a wrestler and in pretty good shape, would love to get the details of the full story, sure he'll blog about it at his training site

incline?

Bet was against dogishead?

Info I have ~ 3rd hand.

Ashton was out drinking last night. Got super drunk and only 5 hours of sleep. Bet started next morning. He ran to the gym (this running did not count towards the bet) instead of taking a car. Bet was on a treadmill. Somewhere in Orlando.

Any walking did not count. Had 24 hours to run 70 miles.

He laid 900k to 300k vs DogIsHead (his roommate).

From what I hear, Ashton is super in shape for college wrestling.

A year or two ago at the WSOP, they were at Naked Fish (sushi place). After eating Ashton was bet he couldn't run home (~15) miles in under 3 hours. There was apparently a very large amount of frozen yogurt involved too. He successfully beat the 3 hour time limit, albeit with a lot of puking. (Obv he was not prepared / dressed / whatever for this impromptu bet)

Not sure, I imagine none.

I would never, ever, bet against any college level wrestler in a prop like this.
