2024 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest odds: How to bet Geoffrey Esper & more with no Joey Chestnut odds
The Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest began, according to local legend, in 1916 and has continued on the corner of Surf and Stillwell in Coney Island since 1972.
Joey Chestnut, the greatest competitive eater in history, won’t be competing in this year’s event on the men’s side. That means the competition is wide open for the rest of the field.Â
Below are the DraftKings hot dog contest odds (does not include all participants):
In the past, Geoffrey Esper has found himself a distant second to Joey Chestnut odds, but this year he’s at the top of the board after eating 49 dogs and buns a year ago on July 4.Â
Per Major League Eating, He is the 2017 and 2019 Hooters wing-eating Champion and the champion of the Fortune Bay Indian Taco and the Jack’s Donuts Donut Holes. In 2023, Esper secured his third straight strawberry shortcake eating record by downing 21 pounds of the treat in eight minutes.
Esper’s over/under for hot dog props is 50.5 (-115 both ways) and he is a -9.5 hot dog favorite over Miki Sudo, the favorite in the women’s competition.Â
