Default Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest

I read where there is a controversy surrounding the time change, competition will go from 12 minutes down to 10 minutes. Joey Chestnut ate 66(new record) last year and that was a 12 minute competition. Under seems like a good bet to me if you can afford the juice.
prices @ 5dimes:
Nathan's winner eats over 68½ hot dogs +300
Nathan's winner eats under 68½ hot dogs -420

I also know the "black widow" Sanaya.

I bet the under 68.5 @ -230 on 6/22 at 5dimes. At that time, the only condition they listed on the bet was "Chestnut or Kobayashi must participate for action"

That was several days before they changed the condition to include the 12 minute duration. It was also several days before there was any announcement regarding the change of the event duration from 12 minutes to 10 minutes.

My wager was canceled the date of the event.

I know these things happen, but I feel like they were freerolling me on this one. Why not cancel my wager when they posted the line that included the "12 minute condition" if it was indeed a "bad line"?

It was only "to win" $100, but I still feel this one stinks a little.
