Re: Hot Dog Eating Contest
there may not be a bet this year, if this article is to be believed.
[ QUOTE ] He's due to go for his seventh Nathan's crown next month, but his manager Kumi Ozeki suggests that Kobayashi's title defense might be in danger. "Kobayashi's mother died in March and he's currently taking a sabbatical. He's not even in training," the hot dog eating champion's manager tells Shukan Gendai. "I haven't heard a word from him about whether he's going to take part in the July contest and there's no way that I know to get in touch with him." [/ QUOTE ] |

[/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] i smell a ruse. perhaps it is even a ruse for them to get good odds on kobayashi. hotdog eating, especially the nathan's contest, IS kobayashi. i have said this above, but if he does not participate, he is destined for obscurity. she died 3 months ago. he will be ready for this contest. they are just attempting to create excitement imo. |

Re: Hot Dog Eating Contest
I don't know Granny. Maybe his mother's dying wish was for him to never stick another weiner in his mouth. Would be hard for him to participate if this is the case. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] direct from the bodog help session. please let me know if you need further explanation. sorry i got to this late. i did not see the new post. GL!! what bet(s) do you like btw? <font color="green"> Moneylines When you make a moneyline wager, you're betting on the outright winner of the event, without taking the point spread into consideration. There are still favorites and underdogs, but instead of being handicapped or assisted by head starts, the competitors are given odds to win the game or event. Let's return to the NFL game where the Indianapolis Colts are favorites against the Arizona Cardinals. The odds might look like this: Colts -150 Cardinals +130 If you bet on the Colts, you'll have to risk $150 to win $100 (or any other variation like $75 to win $50 or $300 to win $200). If you bet on the Cardinals, however, you stand to win $130 for every $100 you wager. If the final score of the game is tied, the wager will be graded "Push" and your money will be refunded. </font> |

Re: Hot Dog Eating Contest
Even money on Kobayashi is an absolute joke.
I'm expecting a historic performance from him on 7/4. |
