Joey Chestnut, the hot dog-and-bun-eating G.O.A.T., is the overwhelming favorite to win his 16th Mustard Belt overall and eighth in row Tuesday at the Nathan's Hot Dog Contest in Coney Island, Brooklyn.
Caesars Sportsbook on Monday had Chestnut listed as a -3,000 odds-on favorite to down the most hot dogs and buns during the messiest 10 minutes in sports.
Every other contestant is listed at +1,400 (14-1) or longer. The over/under on number of hot dogs and buns eaten by Chestnut is around 72.5.
Chestnut is such a big favorite at a few sportsbooks that bettors must risk $4,000 on him to win a net $100. On Monday, DraftKings reported taking a $2,000 bet on Chestnut that would win a net $50 if he is victorious again.
