Drake has placed seven “psychotic bets” ahead of the Super Bowl which could land him more than $4 million (est. R71.1 million) – but admitted there is “no logic” to his wagers.
The 36-year-old rapper has placed $965 000 (est. R17.1 million) on his Stake account ahead of American football’s annual extravaganza, which will take place at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday, 12 February 2023, between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.
He shared his bets on Instagram, and added the caption: “My psychotic bets for Sunday are in @stake pls do not analyse the logic behind these bets there is none (sic)”
Drake clearly thinks the Chiefs have the best chance of winning the match after pledging $700 000 (est. R12.4 million) on the Kansas side to triumph, which would net him more than $1.4 million (est. R24.9 million) if they do.
While he has placed seven bets in total, the most he can win is six because he has opted for two first Chiefs touchdown scorer bets.
Drake has staked $50 000 (est. R889 517) on the team’s star quarterback Patrick Mahomes to win a potential $750 000 (R13.3 million), but has hedged his bets in the market by also putting $50 000 on Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster reaching the end zone first.
If Smith-Schuster achieves the feat, Drake will be $500 000 (est. R8.8 million) better off.
What’s more, he has backed the Chiefs to win each quarter at odds of 20/1.
After placing $30 000 (est. R533 710) on the bet, he would $630 000 (est. R11.2 million) if the Chiefs oblige, and he could turn $50 000 into $250 000 (est. R4.4 million) if the side wins both halves.
Drake is also backing Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce to be the show’s MVP, after forking out $25 000 (est. R444 758) on a bet at 12/1.
Should Kelce be the star of the show on Sunday, Drake will win $325,000 as well as a further $600 000 (est. R10.6 million) after he bet $60 000 (est. R1.06 million) on any tight end being the MVP at 9/1.
Last year, Drake scooped more than $1.2 million (est. R21.35 million) betting on the Super Bowl after he correctly predicted the LA Rams would beat the Cincinnati Bengals.
