You can't bet on Joey Chestnut to win this year's Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. He will most certainly reign victorious, hence the 1-25 odds.
What you can bet on is the total number of hot dogs Chestnut will consume this 4th of July. That number comes in at Over/Under 71.5.
Chestnut is a 15-time Nathan’s champion, and holds the world record for dogs and buns consumed during the 10-minute window at an astounding 76!
Chestnut is set to return following a one-year ban over contract disputes.
For almost a year, Chestnut said, his absence from the Nathan’s contest was inescapable. Especially while competing at other events.
“I could almost read people's facial expressions when they're going to tell me how they used to watch me on the Fourth of July,’’ he said. “And eventually it was going to come to, ‘Oh, I'm sorry you didn't compete last year.’
"I told people I was going to try really hard to get back, but I couldn't guarantee it.’’
