Nathan’s 2026 men’s odds

Caesars Sportsbook has posted odds for 12 competitors in the upcoming men’s Nathan’s Famous hot dog eating contest. I am not sure if this is the official and final field. If it is final, there will be no Asian competitors for the second year in a row.
Champion byes:
Joey Chestnut -2500 (bet $2500 to win $100)
Pat Bertoletti +1100 (bet $100 to win $1100)
Qualifier winners:
Max Stanford +15000
George Chiger +15000
Top 12 byes:
James Webb +2800
Geoffrey Esper +2800
Nick Wehry +5000
Ricardo Corrbucci +15000
Derek Hendrickson +20000
Darrien Thomas +20000
Radim Dvoracek +20000
Gideon Oji +20000

For the women’s field, all I can find out is that Cherish Brown will receive a wild card spot, making the known field:
Miki Sudo
Michelle Lesco
Semora Kludy
Larell Marie Mele
Cherish Brown

update Draft Kings also has odds for Adrian Morgan +15000, Cameron Meade +20000 and Jerome Burns +20000

    I don’t think Gideon is competing. Same with Derrik, Darrien, and Corbucci.

    Max and George having the same odds is hysterical.

    For women, I think the Domenica Dee / Dee_Street has the potential to beat Lesco.

    10:55 i have draftkings and last year they had bets for the nathan’s contest.

    with that being said the womens pool is a complete joke other than sudo and lesco. larell looks your grandma got too tipsy at the loval vfw and stumbled onto a hotdog stage. semora looks like a horse with gary busey teeth. cherish i guess i wouldn’t mind seeing in a bikini but thats about it

    George Chiger will have made it to Nathans July 4th contest in 8 out of the last 9 years. He might be the best competitive eater from Pennsylvania ever.

    Max Stanford – what’s going on with him? Looks emaciated, skinny, gray, old, and sickly. Just saw him in Scott Eat’s video.

    Max is rivaling JWebby in terms of days of consecutive challenges. And now he is going to do hot dog practice runs for the next 4 days. He posted video of him buying over 150 hot dogs at the grocery store, less than a week out from Nathans.

    The guy is a full-fledged bulimic now. He has a food addiction, and his partner fully supports/enables it (probably as she sees it as a way to hopefully strike it big and become rich). Max, you should think really hard about what you’re doing with your life. Throwing away your health chasing YouTube fame. None of your subscribers will care that you can eat 13 lbs. of food every night when you get injured or worse. There’s nothing good to be gained doing the kind of risk eating that has become your new normal.

    Max – yeah he looks terrible in his latest video. Tiny skinny arms, sunken cheeks, looks old, and still doesn’t get it that people don’t watch for size of the challenges. He looks unwell. Which has to mean he is just a low IQ guy as well or mentally ill due to delusions of grandeur. Yeah, he has a full blown eating disorder now.
