Bet on the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest

Bets Novelty Bets to Make in 2017

• Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest
• Cheltenham Festival weather
• Who hosts the 2018 Oscars

The annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest takes place on July 4th every year. Around 20 of the world’s best competitive eaters attempt to chow down as many hot dogs in 10 minutes as they can. The 2017 contest is expected to be a good one, and a number of betting favorites have already emerged.

At the top of the betting odds is Joey Chestnut, who won the contest last year and set a new world record by eating 70 hot dogs. Joey has already won the contest a record 9 times, and is expected by most online sportsbooks in the UK to do it again in 2017. At the moment, his odds to win are set at 1/5.

PaddyPower is so confident in a Chestnut victory, that they’re offering odds of 3/1 to anyone else to win. Matt Stonie certainly has a shot, but all signs point to Joey Chestnut holding onto this title.

Bet on if it Rains at the Cheltenham Festival

The 2017 Cheltenham Festival will take place between March 14th and 17th. UK weather is notoriously unpredictable, but all signs point to at least a little rain falling during the competition. Now, members of PaddyPower can actually bet on how the weather will be during this racing event.

According to Accuweather, there’s a 60% chance it will rain on March 16th. All of the other days look like they’ll be dry. This recent weather forecast has likely affected the betting line, as the odds for it to rain at some point during the festival are set at 1/10.

As we said before, the chances of rain on the 16th are set at 60%, and that could change in the next few days. Feel like the event will be nothing but blue skies? PaddyPower lists the odds for it not to rain at 5/1. This is one of the best novelty bets to make in 2017 thanks to the amazing odds to cash out.

Bet on who is the 2018 Oscar Host

The 2017 Oscars took place in late February, and one of the best novelty bets to make in 2017 is a bet on who hosts this prestigious award show next year. Will it be another late-night host? A famous actor? Let’s take a look at the odds.

At the moment, fellow talk show host Jimmy Fallon is the betting favorite to host the 2018 Oscars. Fallon is one of the most famous people in the US at the moment, and would seem to be a logical choice to lead next year’s show. His odds to be host are set at 10/3.

Jimmy Kimmel and Chris Rock are actually betting favorites to make UK gambling news with return appearances, with odds of 4/1 and 6/1, respectively. Want to go with a betting underdog? Seth Rogan might be a good betting option with current odds of 10/1.
