Over/Under for how many fresh oysters can be ate in 2 hours?!
Answers: Hi - due to a wager placed 4 years ago - a friend of mine will finally be attempting to eat 250 fresh-shucked oysters in 2 hours. I party is being held to honour this event - and I have been designated to assign a over/under line - so party participants can wager on how far the eater will get. I'd prefer any factual information over opinions, Thanks,
I am a pretty big eater, and I ate 10 dozen in a 2-3 hour time period, and I could not eat 1 more. They were medium sized. I love to gamble and I love oysters, so this really sounds great to me. An over & under will be hard to set with no precedent, but if I had to set one it would be at 152. Why don't you just sell numbers, between 75 and 250, and whoever gets closest without going over wins the pot. Wish I could be there!
Keith Lovett opened 50 oysters in 2 minutes 43 seconds to win the Open Men's race last year while veteran Keith Dawson took just 43 seconds to open 10 oysters while blindfolded.
This is our countries best opener.
