BetOnline's Dave Mason Frank Assessment: 'We Got Smoked' With Nathan's Contest

BetOnline's Dave Mason revealed via Twitter that his company "got smoked" by Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest bettors this 4th of July.

Mason also observed that there was no UFC coming to the rescue Saturday evening.  Of course Major League Baseball is on hold until July 23.

Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo still reign supreme when it comes to the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog-Eating Contest.  Both are priced too high to bet, so books offer totals on the number of dogs eaten.

Chestnut wolfed down a world record 75 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes on Saturday to win the Mustard Yellow Belt for the 13th time in 14 years. His total topped his own record of 74, set in 2018.  The payout was $17 for every $10 bet.

"It was hard," said Chestnut, who consumed roughly 21,750 calories. "I knew I was fast in the beginning. It was like blistering speed. And the dogs were cooked really well today. Minute six is where I really missed the crowd ... and I hit a wall, and it took me a little bit more work to get through it. This is a crazy year, and I'm happy I was able to get a record."

Sudo, meanwhile, set a world record by eating 48.5 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes for her seventh consecutive win in the event. Sonya Thomas had held the record of 45 since 2013.
