Drake just bet $1,260,000 in Bitcoin on the Super Bowl
Superstar rapper Drake has just dropped a hefty bet on the upcoming Super Bowl.
And he’s done in it in the cryptocurrency Bitcoin.
Posting a screenshot of his wager on Instagram, Drake has placed Bitcoin bets totalling $1.26 million (£927,549) on Sunday’s game.
Laying his cash down on the side of the Los Angeles Rams, Drake reckons they’ll beat the Cincinnati Bengals. And he’s placing particular emphasis on wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
The musician laid $392,000 on Beckham Jr. getting more than 62.5 receiving yards and another $392,000 on him having over 0.5 anytime touchdowns.
Captioning the Instagram post ‘All bets are in on the family,’ Beckham Jr then responded with ‘It’s time’.
Several months ago, Beckham Jr said he would take his NFL salary in Bitcoin – an estimated $4.25 million for the year.
However, because of recent slumps in the digital currency, that may have been a risky move.
