The 7 Oracles discuss the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest market, noting Gene Clemons' observation that the event splits audiences into two Americas -- people who follow it closely and people who don't care at all. They break down Joey Chestnut sitting as a heavy favorite in the 91-92% range, weigh whether that price offers a reasonable risk/reward, and look at the women's field led by Miki Sudo.
