The award-winning rapper recently revealed that he bet $1.26 million in Bitcoin on the upcoming Super Bowl match between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams.
The famous rapper bet nearly $471,000 on the Rams to win. Drake also expressed confidence in Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. The musician bet $392,000 on Beckham having more than 62.5 receiving yards and another $392,000 on the wide receiver having more than 0.5 touchdowns.
Odell Beckham Jr., the football star, teamed up with Cash App a few months ago and declared that he would receive his NFL salary in BTC while promising to give back $1 million in BTC to his fans. The player’s earnings for the 2021 season are expected to rise to $4.25 million. However, a sports commentator claimed that Beckham was losing money due to the recent market drop and high taxes.
Meanwhile, the National Football League will give limited-edition nonfungible tokens to fans attending the Super Bowl’s return to Los Angeles on February 13. The NFT will commemorate the game day by giving each attendee a customised keepsake with their unique section and row.
