2010 hot dog eating contest Kobayashi, the Japanese guy that won the hot dog eating contest several years in a row before Joey Chestnut won the last 3 times is in a contract dispute with MLE (Major League Eating), who wants him to only compete in MLE sanctioned events. He is currently not in the lineup at Coney Island tomorrow. Joey C. is a -500 chalk @ the Greek, with the field (everybody else) @ +380. Max wager is $200. I have gone 5-1 the last 6 years but even without Kobayashi choking down the dogs tomorrow, I will tread lightly with the field. If he gets in, the field will possibly be +ev at +380. If not, I probably just pissed my coin away. Bon appetit.
