What Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest bets are there?

While you can typically bet on the winner of this event, over the years Joey Chestnut has grown so dominant that BetOnline has taken to introducing a variety of prop bets that add some fun to the event.

I am going to use 2021’s odds as an example here, but these are the type of bets that you can expect to be available going forward for Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.

How Many Hot Dogs Will Joey Chestnut Eat?
Over 73.5 -140
Under 73.5 +100

Joey’s all-time best was 75 so the odds were set somewhat low here all things considered. An over bet would mean that he would eat 74 or more while an under bet would be 73 or less.

The over ended up being the right bet as Joey Chestnut set a new world record with 76 hot dogs eaten!

How Many Hot Dogs Will Matt Stonie Eat?
Over 44.5 -120
Under 44.5 -120

In addition to Joey Chestnut, over/under odds will be set on other competitors as well.

How Many Hot Dogs Will Joey Chestnut Eat in the First Minute?
Over 11 -140
Under 11 +100

Typically eaters at the hot dog eating contest start off hot and then cool off as things go on. Most competitors eat their largest amount of hot dogs during this first few minutes of the contest.

What Will Be Said First During Men’s 10 Minute Competition?
GOAT -140
Kobayashi +100

This will probably not be repeated going forward, but it was available in 2020. The question was whether the announcers would discuss Takeru Kobayashi leaving Major League Eating or Joey Chestnut being the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) of professional eating.

Common Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest Questions:

What is the record for hot dogs eaten in a single contest?

In 2006, Takeru Kobayashi set the world record with 53.75 hot dogs eaten. The following year, Joey Chestnut set a new record with 59.5 hot dogs in qualifying and then broke that record in the 2007 event with 66 hot dogs consumed.

Ever since then it’s been all about Joey Chestnut as he broke the record the next year and has continued to break his own records time and time again. Chestnut would set a new world record in 2020 with 75 hot dogs and buns eaten.

You’d think that would stand, but then he broke it again in 2021 with 76 hot dogs and buns eaten.

Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest Betting Strategy:

Here’s the thing about the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, it’s the Super Bowl, the All-Star Game, the World Series, the Masters, and everything else wrapped in to one. There isn’t another event that gets nearly the eyes that this one does and because of that everybody brings their A-game.

What I’m trying to say here is bet the over. Joey Chestnut doesn’t set new records every year because he’s comfortable. He does it because this is the big show.
