Competitive eating – you can now bet on the Hot Dogs !!
I know what you’re thinking … “How low can sports go?” …
But it seems like the world of competitive eating is now heating up after being dominated by the Japanese Hot Dog eating machine known as Takeru Kobayashi.
Kobayahsi has held the world record for number of hot dogs eaten in 12 minutes for a year now after he set the bar at a stomach churning 53 3/4 hot dogs during the Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest on July 4th, 2006.
But his record was smashed earlier this month when Joey “Jaws” Chestnut (no I am NOT making this up) managed a gut filling 59.5 hot dogs during a regional qualifier for the main event … in Arizona.
(Here is a YouTube Home Video of the historic hot dog event – be warned though it’s not for the squeamish …)
Why am I telling you all this ?
Because the next Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Competition is coming up on July 4th 2007 – and PinnacleSports are offering odds on the Hot Dog eating event …
