2010 Hot Dog Eating Contest Odds Tim “Eater X” Janus: This 4th of July hopefully won’t be a purge fest when contestants fill their faces with as many hot dogs and buns in the 2010 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island, New York. Go to SPORTSBOOK.com to get all of the current and best odds.
One contestant who is looking to win the 2010 title in Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest is +800 odds favorite Tim “Eater X” Janus. His last year’s finish was only 4th place after chowing down on 53 hot dogs and he’ll need to finish more than that in the 10-minute competition if he wants to beat out the tough competition.
"I think I'll do fine. I really love that contest," Tim Janus said. "My goal is to eat in such a way that I feel like I'm eating quickly. I've eaten hot dogs enough times to know if I'm eating well, and I'm always hoping to push myself to the point of feeling like I'm doing that. There's a rhythm to eating hot dogs well. Your hands are working. Your jaw is working. Your throat is working. And hopefully they're all working together"
I’m sure “Eater X” will be coming into the 2010 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest with something unusual as he’s known for being a spectacle in the yearly competition. The organizers of the contest prohibited the use of signs in the competition after Tim brought a sign declaring that “Harry Potter character Hermione dies” in 2008. He is now known for the generous amounts of paint that he uses to paint his face to give him more of a gladiator feel.
Janus added, "Sometimes I'll cook up some hot dogs and put everything to the test. And sometimes I'll just close my eyes and pretend to eat hot dogs – moving my arms, pretending to dunk, and pretending to swallow until I'm satisfied that my muscles know exactly what to do."
