Well, as you can see, Kobayashi is not taking part this year.

Kobayashi hopes his upcoming Fourth of July will go off with far less drama. He remains locked in a dispute with Major League Eating, which administers the Nathan’s contest and many others, so he again can’t enter the Coney Island event.

Instead he will compete from afar, eating alongside a live satellite feed of the contest on the roof of 230 FIFTH, a Manhattan bar. He’ll eat the very same Nathan’s hot dogs and buns, starting and finishing in time with the real competitors.

Chestnut's 1/20 are just the wurst odds.



Juliet Lee at 66s? I'd rather bang'er.

My tip this year is regarding the number of hot dogs eaten. Joey recently visited China detailed below

What the article does not tell you is that he contracted Subacute Enterotoxemia which is usually common is sheep and goats. The underground spread markets who have taken this informed money are laying a 54-56 spread which should tell you all you need to know.

Tip: Hotdogs eaten by the winner: Under 60 - 11/10.

Joey with a total of 58 hot dogs followed by a haemorrhage. People will attempt the Heimlich Manoeuvre but it will be in vain.

Gl all.

50 dollar limits but bodogs numbers for this are all waaay off. 3 scalps with 5dimes. Dont worry about Kobyashi, hes competing via satallite from a bar which isn't official.

Yeah you gotta take the under 60.5 for Chestnut. His median score here is a very solid 59. However, without Kobayashi pressuring him weiner for weiner last year, we all saw the lack of effort and desire to stomp that field's ass in competitive eating or set any sort of record. He put up his 2nd lowest score ever since finishing 2nd to the Jap back in 2006.

Yup 5dimes: Field +1200
Bodog: Chestnut -600

Lol this event

Competitive eating might be the only sport in the world where the crowd looks as if they'd be better than the athletes. ESPN coverage is hilarious.

Last year he wasn't inspired because Kobayashi didn't compete. This year he has to deal with the fact that Kobayashi is eating at the bar 230 Fifth. That's even more motivation than Kobayashi standing right next to him because he doesn't know how well he is doing or if he's ahead. Chestnut says he can do 68 if the hot dogs are cooked right. It's important to Shea and the IFOCE that Chestnut beats Kobayashi. The hot dogs will be cooked right. Going with the over.

Thank you Joey! And Kobayashi supposedly ate 69. Guillard and Kobayashi champs in 2012.

Bump!

Sonya "the black widow" Thomas o40.5 -120 weiners ate

i just told my wife how much i had on a hotdog eating contest. only question was, 'are you gonna win?'

she's been with me a while.

edit: "sooo, you're gonna win $400??" "uhhh, not exactly" hahahaha

girl I'm seeing thought its hysterical but I assured her I got a good price

Over 62 1/2 at Bodog -120

"The last few years I've been kind of lazy," Chestnut told amNewYork. "There were a few years here where nobody was close to me, but it's about time I make a new record," he said, adding that in practices leading up to the contest he's been right around the record.

Even if he gets the record it won't match the awesomeness of Kobayashi at Wing Bowl.
