Canadian rapper Drake made £425,000 from his Super Bowl wagers yesterday. He placed seven massive bets on Sunday’s Super Bowl and made away with only one bet.
The Canadian rapper dropped a total of $965k on the bets, and won $1.477m, making an overall profit of $512k, all of which came from the Chiefs winning the game as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in the season finale.
Drake celebrated on Instagram, posting a story of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce celebrating, with the caption: ‘Pay that man his MONEYYYYYYY Eddie @Stake.’
My psychotic bets for Sunday are in @stake,’ he wrote on the post. ‘Please do not analyze the logic behind these bets there is none.’
Drake put down $700k on the Chiefs to win the title before taking part in some ‘smaller’ prop bets.
He put down $50k each on Patrick Mahomes and Juju Smith-Schuster scoring the first Chiefs touchdown, while he also bet the same amount on the Chiefs winning both halves.
Kansas City were trailed 24-14 at the half, but Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes controlled the second half, outscoring the Eagles 24-11.
Drake wagered $30k on the Chiefs winning each quarter, while he bet $25k that Travis Kelce would be named Super Bowl MVP and $60k.
But Patrick Mahomes ultimately took home his second Super Bowl MVP award after a game-winning 21/27 for 182 yards and three touchdowns.
But the win is still able to give relief and cool cash to Drake after six other of his Super Bowl gambles failed to come in.
