The official 2013 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest thread

Live on ESPN2 at 12 Eastern

Joey Chestnut is the odds-on favorite to win his 7th mustard belt at 1-10 odds. You would have to bet 1000 dollars to win $100. If you bet on the field, 100 will win you 700.

Other prop bets include:
- Will Chestnut go over or under the line of 64.5? $125 will win you $100

- Chestnut's margin of victory. Last year, he was 16 dogs ahead of second place Eater X. This year's line? 11.5 dogs. 110 dollars will win you 100 on this one.

- Total hot dog and buns consumed by the top three: Line is at 169.5 HDB. No line mentioned, so I'm assuming an even money bet.

I think the Over of 64.5 is a no brainer.

I'm saying under, but not by much. 62.5

Margin of victory: I'll go with 12

The big 3? That's an under. 157.5 (62.5-50-44.5)

Black Widow is tough. I'm still going with Chestnut, but taking the overs.

[DudeMan2766]

Betting the field would be like when Krusty the Clown bet his savings against the Globetrotters

[blackjack68]

Oops. Forgot the woman's division

One woman still had pieces of hot dog bun on her forehead during the interview.

[blackjack68]

Its an ugly sport.

[DudeMan2766]

Hahaha there's an edible arrangement eating champion of the world

Jealous?

I thought Rerun was dead.

144 hooters wings is ridiculous. That's 800 calories per 5 wings....or 23040 calories.

[DudeMan2766]

That entrance was amazing

[DudeMan2766]

Haha the Weapons of Mass Digestion

Year after year the puns are the best part of this

Stonie is flying and keeping a good pace with Chestnut.

...and is ahead of Chestnut 22-20

400 career dogs for Chestnut

and Stoney is way off the pace. Chestnut is walking away with this one, now up by 10 dogs with 3 minutes left.

[FreeCandy44]

This is amazing and disgusting at the same time.

62.....well my prediction was off.

[Gaucho]

I didn't know competitive eating was considered a sport.

This is amazing and disgusting at the same time.

it is, and yet I can't stop watching.

[DudeMan2766]

Man think its been a while since a world record was broken. It was happening every year when Chestnut first started winning

- Total hot dog and buns consumed by the top three: Line is at 169.5 HDB. No line mentioned, so I'm assuming an even money bet.

Total consumed was Chestnut (69) + Stonie (51) + Eater X (50) = 170

The fix was in the entire time. Thats why Chestnut powered through that last dog in the last 5 seconds.
