Joey Chestnut is my favorite so I bet on props for the Hot Dog Eating Contest

July 4th vacation ... can't be done without a hot dog. On Monday, the annual Nathan's International Hot Dog Eating Contest will be held, with a two-year break due to a pandemic before returning to Coney Island's hometown. The 

contest will feature 16 men and 12 women, but when eating hot dogs, only two names, Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo, are important. Odds makers don't expect the world's top two hot dog eaters to be challenged on Monday. Betters must put -3000 ($ 3,000 to earn $ 100) on the chestnut. Alternatively, you can join the field for +1000 ($ 100 to earn $ 1,000). 

While Joey Jaws gets all the love, Sudo is considered a safer bet to destroy her competition. You need to put -5000 on Sudo to win. Otherwise, the bettor can roll the dice on the field at +1100. 

Chestnut and Sudo odds are so crazy that the only real way to bet on this event is to over or under the total hot dogs eaten by the two competitors. Is to do. The total chestnut isBetMGM, which is 74.5, while Sudo is 43.5. 

First, let's break down the chestnuts. Chestnut, the undisputed king of eating hot dogs, has won the event 14 times in the last 15 years. Only the upset by Matt Stonie in 2015 hampered Chestnut's ten-and-a-half-year dominance. Chestnuts have set world records in the last two years by eating 75 and 76 hot dogs. However, this is the only time he has surpassed 74.5 hot dogs. 

Sudo is about as dominant and 7 at this event The number of consecutive wins. Ironically, Sudo is not a defending champion. Mr. Sudo was 9 months pregnant, so he couldn't compete in last year's contest. When she was absent, Michelle Resco won by eating more than 30 hot dogs. This is 18 fewer dogs than the previous year, when Sudo set a female world record of 48.5. 

It's hard to compete with chestnuts, but looking at the last two contests, he really had to get together late to set a world record. Over is -140 for juice, but under +110 is worth some. In the last 30 seconds, we expect chestnuts to be slightly below 74.5 this year.

On the women's side, I really like SudoOver 43.5 hot dogs. She couldn't compete in last year's tournament, so I think she will come out powerfully. I wouldn't be surprised if she broke her own record of eating 48.5 dogs. The Sudo Over 43.5 hot dog (-115) is my number one bet on the event while I play with a fire bet against chestnuts. 

It's summer dog day and there aren't many sports to bet on right now. If you need to scratch your bet itching, kick back and bet on people eating hot dogs at insane speeds. believe me. The last 30 seconds of the hot dog eating contest will sweat the same as the last play of the NFL game, where spreads are still suspicious.
