The annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest is just around the corner, and for those looking to add some excitement to the event, there are plenty of prop bets available. According to TMZ Sports, there are a plethora of wagering options for spectators to choose from, including some rather unusual ones.
One of the most intriguing prop bets on the board is whether or not a contestant will vomit during the competition. The odds for a contestant throwing up are set at 6/1, meaning bettors could potentially win $6 for every $1 they bet if someone loses their lunch. On the other hand, those betting against a vomit-inducing moment will receive odds of 1/12.
When it comes to predicting the winner of the contest, Joey Chestnut is the clear favorite. However, with odds of $1 for every $25 wagered, it may not be the most lucrative bet for those looking to make a profit. As for the total number of hot dogs Chestnut will consume, the over/under has been set at 71.5, adding an extra layer of excitement to the competition.
In addition to these bets, gamblers can also wager on a variety of other outcomes, such as the outfit event host George Shea will wear, how many hot dogs last year’s winner Patrick Bertoletti will consume, and whether Chestnut will eat more or less than 42.5 hot dogs within the first five minutes of the contest.
With the competition set to take place in Brooklyn in just a few hours, the anticipation is building. So, who’s hungry for some hot dog eating action? Get ready to place your bets and enjoy the show!
