Gotta like the under in this one, right?? Last years record was 59, can't see them going up by 10 more in 1 year? Thoughts...?

Bump....Look at the line now:

Fri 7/4 501 Nathan's winner eats over 68½ hot dogs +175
12:00PM (EST) 502 Nathan's winner eats under 68½ hot dogs -245

There are rumors that the contest will be shortened to 10 mins from 12 mins, hence the under being pounded - there is no stipulation that it must go 12 mins.

I have a little under -125 when I first read the story:

http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/31/23/31_23_nathans_frank_fight.html

But it looks like the change is definitely happening, so even the -245 is a steal. I'm not going to take the free money buying back +175 now.

Just FYI, gl guys.

Really doubt 5dimes would honor those Under wagers if the contest was changed to 10 minutes.

Maybe, but they should have put the 12 min stipulation on the ticket, and they have moved the line from -115 to -245, rather than take it down or refund all action.

Well the system has moved it down to -245 based on the action, I'm sure if 5dimes knew of this possible change they would take down the line or revise it with the 12 minute stipulation.
