Drake’s High-Stakes Bets
The world of celebrity betting can be just as tantalizing as the games themselves, and no one exemplifies this more than the one and only Drake. While he’s known for running through the six with his woes, he’s also been busy placing hefty bets using Bitcoin (BTC) on this year’s Super Bowl showdown between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams. And when we say hefty, we mean to the tune of $1.26 million!
The Million-Dollar Bet Breakdown
Through a popular crypto sports betting platform, Drake put over $471,000 on the Rams to come out victorious, with a nod to overtime. Talk about faith in your team! And it doesn’t stop there; he also wagered around $392,000 on the Rams’ wide receiver, Odell Beckham Jr., believing he would have over 62.5 receiving yards and another $392,000 on Beckham to score at least one touchdown during the game.
- Bet on Rams to Win: $471,000
- Beckham Jr. Over 62.5 Receiving Yards: $392,000
- Beckham Jr. Over 0.5 Touchdowns: $392,000
Calls for Action
Drake’s enthusiasm didn’t go unnoticed; he posted on social media, declaring, “All bets are in on the family.” Beckham Jr. responded with a simple, yet powerful, “It’s time.” This banter caught the attention of NFL veteran Charles James, who couldn’t help but chime in, stating, “Yep, you just confirmed it! I’m Cincinnati! Burrow for the win. Call a reasonable number.” The tension is palpable!
Beckham Jr.’s Unique Payday
Odell Beckham Jr. isn’t just a player in this high-stakes environment; he’s a pioneer in mixing sports and cryptocurrency. Recently, he announced that he’d be taking his NFL salary in BTC thanks to his partnership with Cash App. The wide receiver also promised to gift away $1 million worth of BTC to lucky fans. However, analysts caution that he might face some financial pitfalls due to the recent crypto market fluctuations and taxes that add up like popcorn at a movie theater.
NFTs at the Super Bowl: What’s the Big Deal?
The excitement doesn’t stop with Drake’s bets. The NFL is upping the ante by offering attendees of the Super Bowl a limited-edition non-fungible token (NFT) to commemorate the big day. This digital keepsake will feature a unique digital layout indicating the specific section and row where fans are seated. Perfect for those who want to relive the moment long after the confetti has dropped!
