Football fans will be looking to California tonight, where the Super Bowl game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals will take place. And if you rely on rapper Drake’s bets – the Bengals have no chance.
The musician made a series of bets on Bitcoin, using the Stake app, totaling C $ 1.6 million ($ 1.3 million).
Among other things, he bet C $ 600,000 because the Rams would win (and if the bet succeeds, he will receive C $ 906,000 in return); He also gambled on C $ 500,000 because Odell Beckham Jr. (OBJ), his best friend who plays for the Rams, would get a touchdown (and then get C $ 1.075 million in return); And for a similar amount – because he will achieve in the game catches at a total distance of at least 62.5 yards (then he will receive in return 905 thousand Canadian dollars).
In total, if all three bets turn out to be correct, Drake will receive about C $ 2.9 million (about $ 2.3 million).
By the way, Beckham Jr. announced late last year that he would receive his salary in Bitcoin.
The price of digital currency has fallen by 37% since its peak in November, and is currently trading at around $ 43,000.
The value of the Canadian Drake’s assets is estimated at $ 200 million.
