Drake Placed More Than $1.25M In Super Bowl Bets — Here's How It Worked Out For Him

Editorial note: The winning wagers listed here are a speculative estimate drawn from a variety of online sources.

Drake is most certainly always “busy getting rich” — or richer. And this time, it’s thanks to his Super Bowl wagers.

As AfroTech previously reported, the “Controlla” rapper wagered more than $1.25 million of his own money into Super Bowl wagers, and he won two out of the three bets he placed.

The Action Network reported the breakdown of Drake’s wins. For betting on Odell Beckham Jr.’s anytime touchdown, he banked more than $710,000 USD. And for betting on a Rams win, he banked more than $710,000.

So, we decided to do the math.

That means, in total, he won more than $1.4 million USD. Considering he wagered the equivalent of $1.25 million USD, Drake potentially netted a profit of about $150,000 USD on the Super Bowl.

And as AfroTech previously reported, it looks like Drake will be receiving his payout in Bitcoin, based on his Instagram post about the matter. And while it’s unclear whether Drake wagered all his Super Bowl bets in the popular cryptocurrency, or only did so on a partial basis, what’s clear is that he’s got a handsome sum coming his way for his prescient picks.

But more than giving Mr. Champagne Papi a few more zeros in his bank account, the Rams win was a good one for Mr. OBJ, as well.

The Action Network reports that the Rams superstar is entitled to “up to $1 million in incentives if the Rams win. His one-year deal with L.A. features a total of $3 million in incentives, with OBJ already earning $2 million entering the game. He will receive $500,000 should the Rams lose.”

This is certainly another win for OBJ, who got traded to the Rams after he expressed an extreme discontent with his previous team, the Cleveland Browns.

Clearly, then, this is just the beginning of additional deals ready to be lined up for the receiver.
