****Best odds I could find for both guys****

The Rules​

There are key changes to the regulations compared to how Chestnut and Kobayashi competed at the Nathan’s Fourth of July contest in 2009 — the updated rules make it both more challenging, and more fair.

RULE #1: 10-minute contest to eat the most hot dogs and buns

RULE #2: NO dunking or pouring water on hot dogs and buns

RULE #3: NO separation of hot dogs from buns

RULE #4: Penalties may be issued for breaking of rules, or regurgitation.

RULE #5: 30 seconds to finish what’s left in their mouths at end of 10 minutes

RULE #6: Excess crumbs are weighed and deducted from scores if necessary.

RULE #7: Tiebreaker — Three minutes overtime. Should a second overtime be necessary, winner will be first to finish five hot dogs and buns

The greatest athlete of all time.

The greatest athlete of all time.

Just read the event will be indoors. Joey kills while eating indoors.

 

[Rhood]

They just reported in USA Today that the table will be 36 inches instead of 30 inches, which will gives Joey a greater advantage.
Also the table will be made of wood instead of aluminum, which gives greater hot dog plate stability for some odd reason.

Anyone know what type of tablecloth they'll be using or what the graphic pattern will be?
Some people believe that ******** pattern could make Kobayashi hallucinate.
