| Geoffrey Esper | +800 | +750 | +650 |
| Nick Wehry | +1000 | +1000 | +1000 |

The Nathan’s Hot Dog Bets just got started chowing down. It remains one of the most iconic symbols of betting gluttony in the sports wagering landscape. Yes, one can bet on how many hot dogs a human being can eat in ten minutes. Let that sink in! If one is wondering, how many I can eat? The answer is a lot. Can I do that in ten minutes? No. That is why these competitive eaters are a cut above.
So, the fun part is not so much trying to gauge the winner. The last couple of decades have not featured many upsets. If one looks at some of the early numbers, the latest versions moved even more to the favorite. Basically, Joey Chestnut is a virtual lock to win his eighth title in a row. It’s a level where few competitive eaters can ever come close. Miki Sudo has won the last eight competitions she has entered. She skipped 2021 due to pregnancy.
Now, this is where the eating gets even hotter. Yes, Chestnut is going for his second eight-year streak. Only Matt Stone in 2015 shocked the world by edging out Chestnut (62 hot dogs to 60). That 60 number is what many figure it would take to even come close to the American Hot Dog King. Not even Takeru Kobayashi won eight times in a row. Simply, Chestnut is on the verge of doing that twice.
Then there is Mika Sudo from the Women’s Division. People forget she has won eight of the 11 competitions from the ladies side of the equation. Last year, she came back after the birth of her first child, ate 40 hot dogs with ease, and won another Nathan’s crown. For perspective, James Webb finished in third among them men consuming 41 of the frankfurters. Many argue that Sudo could approach her personal best of 48 1/2 hot dogs.
So, Nathan’s Hot Dog Bets looks at can Joey Chestnut eat more than 73 1/2 Hot Dogs. There lies much uncertainty because that -2000 to -3000 for Chestnut to win outright makes a wager almost impossible. Instead, it’s more than about winning, it’s about can he come close to his personal and world-record best of 76. This is a man who ate 75+ hot dogs in consecutive years. Last year, was interesting to say the least.
Now, Chestnut is healthy both mentally and physically going into July 4th. Last year, the competitive eater and MLE’s best spokesperson, was mourning the passing of his mom and had a ruptured tendon in his leg. This year his focus has been even more laser guided. However, his perspective has changed a little bit. Does Chestnut want to go out and make a show of things? Or does he simply go for 16 while not trying to go full bore?
So, the fun thing is realizing how many different foods Chestnut is a champion competitive eater in. Chestnut is a star that lives up to the status. We simply ask will he eat 74 hot dogs or 73? It is a risk but the early weather forecast calls for humid and moist conditions. That may slow down the hot dog eaters as it did last year.
Yes, that -130 number to eat 73 or fewer hot dogs comes in at -130. If that goes any further, do not wager! When it boils down to Nathan’s Hot Dog Betting Picks, hot dog competitive eaters prefer them boiled but casual eaters like them grilled. The thought process is Chestnut could top 70 so take the under anyway.
What about some more Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Bets? Let’s have fun with a few of these. For one, no one is touching Mika Sudo in her quest to win another ladies’ crown. Expect her to win a ninth title and eat around 40 hot dogs. Sudo’s number went off the board but can she eat more than her husband, Nick Wehry?
That comes in at -110. Also, there is a combined Sudo/Chestnut parlay at 116 1/2 hot dogs combined. The Under has some legs here at -120 as again weather may play a role here. Even if it does not rain, the conditions will be draining on the eaters.
So, taking Nick Wehry to eat under 47 1/2 hot dogs is easy to swallow here too at -120. He ate 44 at qualifying and that was his best this year in ideal conditions. Even Geoffrey Esper likely does not break 50 hot dogs. At -125, the under likely wins there too. His personal best is 51. Last year, he ate 47.5 at Coney Island. Look for around that number again.
