Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest (July 4, 12:00 PM)

  • ts1227
    Time to get away from all the baseball bets and have some fun.

    Can anyone beat Joey Chestnut?
    Will Kobayashi even show up? (contract dispute, lol)
    Will new records be set?

    Noon on ESPN this Sunday, and it will be awesome


    Chestnut most likely easy money here (obvious by the odds)

    Tidbits to help with betting:
    The current record is 68 HDB (Hot Dogs & Buns) in 10 minutes... set by Chestnut in 2009
    Sonya Thomas' personal record in this event is 41 HDB (in 2009)

    good call on this one, I was waiting to see if Kobayashi would be there or not before I started it.

    I was thinking the same thing, but if he is gaming them he's going to wait until the last minute to commit.

    Either way, with Chestnut beating him the last 3 or 4 times, it doesn't really change the bet much (still Chestnut as the heavy favorite, or the field)

    No point playing this one if you are taking the favorite. The odds suck on that bet.

    Can't help that it's about a lock for him to win. It would be a piss poor bet in Vegas too

    Numbers were WAY down this year, most likely due to the about 95 degree heat.

    Chestnut wins with only 54... he was the only competitor to break 50.

    Most of the competitors were slow from the beginning.
