Hot dogs are headed on a path of destruction and new users can use our DraftKings promo code to earn up to $1,200 in bonuses with a wager on the 51st Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4th.

Competitive eating legend Joey Chestnut is the favorite at DraftKings for the annual eating spectacle on the men’s side, with his odds to win set at -4000. But there are more markets to bet on to get your fill of hot dog betting content.

The Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest will be broadcast on ESPN with the women’s competition starting at 10:45 a.m. Tuesday (ESPN3) followed by the men’s event at noon (ESPN2).

How many hot dogs can Joey Chestnut eat? For the past several years, that is the question that has been at the forefront of the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. The winner almost seems like a foregone conclusion. But how many dogs can he get down?

Thanks to this DraftKings welcome offer, you can place a wager on the event and also earn up to $1,200 with just a single bet on the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.

Every sport has its superstar and Joey Chestnut is the unrivaled icon of competitive eating. Chestnut set the record in the annual Nathan’s contest in 2021 when he ate 76 hot dogs and buns during the 10-minute competition. No other competitor has ever eaten more than 64.5.

So Chestnut is the obvious favorite at DraftKings (-4000 or better), with Geoffrey Esper second at +1200. Nick Wehry (+2000), James Webb (+2500), and the field (+3000) round out the top 5. Odds are also available on additional competitors as well.

On the women’s side, Miki Sudo is also a heavy favorite, with her odds listed at -5000.

Sudo’s Nathan’s record was set in 2020, when she took down 48.5 hot dogs and buns in the event.

Michelle Lesco is second at +1500 and the field is priced at +2500.

In addition to the eventual winner, select sportsbooks may also have odds listed on the total hot dogs consumed by each competitor, with players able to bet over or under that number.

New players can use their welcome bonus on any wager available at DraftKings. Meanwhile, current players can take advantage of numerous ongoing promotions from DraftKings throughout the summer. Those include:
