One of the best well-known sportsbooks on the Internet, PinnacleSports.com has expanded its sports betting menu into the competitive eating arena. The ultimate contest pitting man against frankfurter, Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest has been a staple on America's birthday since 1916.
The tradition continues its way through the dispute between the greatest eater in history, Takeru Kobayashi, who holds this title for six years and Joey Chestnut, who showed outstanding results in qualifying.
PinnacleSports.com believes Joey Chestnut, who devoured 50 hot dogs in qualifying, will present the biggest challenge to Kobayashi, however, they both must not underestimate Sonya Thomas, who overcame 37 hot dogs last year.
In addition to calculating odds on who will win the contest, PinnacleSports.com has created several other betting options on the world's most prestigious eating competition. Bettors may wager on unique over/under lines on the number of hot dogs the three favorites will eat in this year's contest.
