Watching people stuff wet hot dogs into their mouths may seem incredibly absurd during a holiday, yet surprisingly, we find ourselves quite entertained by it.
Additionally, we have the option to place bets on it.
It is possible to place bets on the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. Michigan residents who engage in online sports betting can use their BetMGM or Caesars app to wager on the number of hot dogs Joey Chestnut will consume on Monday.
The great news is that it has received approval from the Michigan Gaming Control Board, ensuring its safety and legality. However, the not-so-great news is that you might find yourself having two reasons to feel unwell during the viewing experience.
As of Friday, seven online sportsbooks in Michigan offered odds for the hot dog eating contest. BetMGM Michigan Sportsbook, Caesars Sportsbook MI, BetRivers Sportsbook MI, TwinSpires Sportsbook, Four Winds Sportsbook, and PlayGunLake/Parx Sportsbook all had at least one bet available for the event.
To locate them effortlessly, simply conduct a search for “hot dog” on sportsbooks equipped with a search function. Alternatively, certain platforms categorize this market under “TV/Novelty” section.
A few of the sportsbooks are providing an opportunity solely to place bets on the victor in the men’s competition. Chestnut, who has won the championship a remarkable 14 times, is an overwhelming favorite, with odds as high as -5000.
Both BetMGM and Caesars have listed Chestnut as the favorite at -3000, while the rest of the participants are under the field category at +1000. BetRivers, on the other hand, offers odds on other eaters, with Geoffrey Esper being seen as Chestnut’s main competition at +1000. BetMGM also provides odds for the women’s division, where Miki Sudo is the favored contestant at -5000. The field in the women’s category stands at +1100.
If you don’t anticipate a surprise victory on the level of Buster Douglas, it’s likely that those bets won’t be worthwhile.
However, the totals could be different. As of Friday, BetMGM has established the total for Chestnut at 74.5, with a slight inclination towards the over (-140). On the other hand, Sudo’s total is set at 45, with -105 for the over and -125 for the under.
The total prize offered by Caesars for the men’s contest is 74.5, but it is not exclusively for Chestnut, rather for the winner in general.
