The series of wagers put down by Drake totaled a whopping $1.25 million worth of bitcoins as per CBS Sports. However, the bet placed by him is in favor of the odds. He is expected to cash out a massive sum if the Los Angeles Rams down the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Several factors are playing in favor of the Rams. Firstly, the Rams will play at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, which is their home turf. Secondly, they have an Aaron Donald-led defense that has bullied even the GOAT of the NFL, Tom Brady. And lastly, their star-studded team refuses to back down from any situation. The offense will put on a show featuring OBJ and Cooper Kupp well ahead of the halftime show.

However, if Drake wins all three bets, then he will receive a total payout of $2.267 million for a profit of just over a million, as per the value of the bitcoin when the wager was placed. 

 The Toronto native rapper shared a screenshot on his Instagram profile after placing the hefty bet. “All bets are in on the family,” Drake wrote in the caption. To which the Rams star wideout OBJ replied, “It’s time.”
