BroburySports.com has released the odds and Joey Chestnut (-1000) is the heavy favorite, followed by Patrick Bertoletti (+700) and Tim Eater X Janus (+800).
There are also tons of props like whether Chestnut will eat ‘over’ or ‘under’ 68.5 hot dogs.
The Major League Eating (MLE) association released a statement that seems something out of a Saturday Night Live skit, but this is real.
“Takeru Kobayashi is currently not scheduled to compete in the 2010 Nathan’s Famous July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest,” the statement said. “Major League Eating has sought to arrive at an agreement with Kobayashi, but contract negotiations have reached an impasse.”
Kobayashi won the Nathan’s contest from 2001-2006, breaking the record twice by eating over 53 hot dogs and buns. He gained international recognition in the previously unknown ‘sport,’ mostly due to his slim stature.
Kobayashi is also the world record holder for eating cow brains, lobster rolls and rice balls, but it’s the hot dog that makes him famous in North America. He will be missed if he sits this out.
Chestnut stands to gain the most from these recent developments. The three-time defending champion has taken competitive eating to a new level. He again broke the world record last year by eating 68 hot dogs, 3.5 more than Kobayashi.
Chestnut also holds other competitive eating records that are too numerous (and disgusting) to mention. He weighs 230 pounds, a full 70 more than his Japanese counterpart.
Chestnut would have been the favorite regardless of the Kobayashi situation. However, competition on the eating circuit has increased dramatically over the last couple of years. These players are getting famous and rich, so others want to join the fun.
There are a number of interesting long shots with great value. They could come out of nowhere to pay off big.
Social Networking Goes to the Dogs.
Marketing Weekly News December 4, 2010 Social networking is all the rage, and man’s (and woman’s) best friends aren’t being left out. Even though there are more than 60 million dog owners on the Internet, there has never been a comprehensive online community for dog lovers – until now. Launching in November, PoochCity.com starts welcoming residents.
Pooch City (PoochCity.com) launches on November 17th, offering the most comprehensive social networking site for millions of dog lovers and the businesses that serve them. The site offers all of the community social networking features found on sites like Facebook, combined with tools to help small businesses increase their bottom line by bringing together canine-focused businesses with doggie aficionados worldwide. dogtreatrecipesnow.net dog treat recipes
Recognizing that small and independent businesses dominate the pet industry, Pooch City offers its residents (members) in their “Business District” access to their exclusive Pet Service Scheduler. The scheduler allows service providers to market their services, allow customers to schedule appointments and pay for appointments – all via Pooch City. In addition, Pooch City has adoption and breeder search tools for those looking to add a new member to their family.
This canine social network was created by Tamika Stokes Goins, 36, under her company Because Inc. Goins also created and publishes the national, lifestyle magazine Doggie Aficionado[R]. The goal of Pooch City is to consolidate the fragmented, online pet industry, leveraging best practices in social networking with practical small business solutions thus creating a virtual city of all things dog related.
“With pet parents bursting to share fun tidbits and photos of their fur children and businesses wanting a piece of the nearly $50 billion pet industry, an online site like Pooch City is an obvious evolution. Our team is excited to welcome residents and businesses,” said Goins.
Pooch City membership is free for residency members (non-businesses). Non-profit rescue organizations can also create free shelter accounts to post information about dogs in need of a new home. The site offers three business residency types: Downtown, Business District and Mall Store Owner. The business memberships start at $125 per year. go to web site dog treat recipes
