Title: Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Post by: AlrightJack on July 04, 2011, 03:02:54 PM Sporting Index betting on this.
They make the line for the number of hotdogs eaten by the winner 57-59. The also quote a Joey Chestnut/The Field bet on the winning margin of hotdogs consumed, at 12.5-14.5. Live on ESPN America at 5pm. Anyone got any opinions on this? Times like this Colchester Kev would come in very handy, given his pie eating expertise and prowess. Title: Re: Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Post by: AlrightJack on July 04, 2011, 03:06:10 PM I'm thinking a small sell of Joey Chestnut/The Field might be the way forward. Wikipedia has full results going back to 1916 for this event.
Title: Re: Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Post by: AlrightJack on July 04, 2011, 03:13:52 PM I'm guessing that after last year's arrest, Kobayashi is not competing this year, hence the high supremacy quote, so maybe a risky sell. Its a question of whether Tim Janus or Pat Bertoletti are hungry enough to get close to Joey.
Title: Re: Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Post by: Dubai on July 04, 2011, 05:15:30 PM Joey won last 4 times and seems supremely confident, world record looks on. Spread looks bang on- he will win by 15
Title: Re: Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Post by: Dubai on July 04, 2011, 05:16:15 PM I'd buy winning number of hotdogs. Joey gonna be in 60s for sure

Title: Re: Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Post by: AlrightJack on July 04, 2011, 06:11:52 PM SI may have settled it incorrectly - perhaps subject to a recount
Title: Re: Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Post by: AlrightJack on July 04, 2011, 06:17:08 PM +19, guy in second got docked for incorrect eating procedures
Title: Re: Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Post by: Gamblor21 on July 04, 2011, 06:18:07 PM It's 10 for win then, 1 for every hotdog won by. Hence +19.

Had to check it wasn't Dodgeball on Sky Movies.

Rule 2 ldo. http://www.ifoce.com/features.php?action=detail&sn=28 Reading rule 4 just about caused a reversal of fortune here. This has to be a level. Title: Re: Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Post by: Karabiner on July 05, 2011, 06:51:39 PM The old chubby Red-Dog might be worth training up for a coup in one of these events.
Title: Re: Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Post by: redarmi on July 05, 2011, 08:15:42 PM Years ago I worked for a firm that were the official sportsbook partner of this and we put William "The Fridge" Perry into it and he managed a grand total of six hotdogs. Apparently it is harder than it seems. Shame about Kobayashi.....we did fortunes on him as short as 1/6 and he is a bit like the Fosbury of the competitive eating world in that he was the first to eat the bun and sausage separately like they all do now. All a bit sick really. Great blog on it at the tao of poker.
