Monday is the July 4th holiday, and that means attention will be focused on an annual event taking place at Coney Island, yes, it’s Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, 2022, and guess what, we have some free betting picks on the event for you.
Sanctioned by MLE (Major League Eating), did I really just write that, Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest is an annual competitive eating event, held on July 4th every year at the renowned Nathans’ Famous restaurant on the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues.

The clue’s quite clearly in the name. It’s a competition where the person that eats the most hot dogs is the winner.
What’s meant to be a bit of fun, has in recent years become very competitive though. As a result, the top Vegas betting sites have markets on the event, and it’s usually covered live on TV. In addition to that, regional qualification events take place, and wildcards get issued for competitors who don’t qualify but have the highest average scores.
Since 2011 there has been a separate women’s event. Both the men’s and women’s events last for 10 minutes, and the competition has rules and criteria that have to be abided by.
