Last night, the Boston Celtics became American basketball champions at the expense of the Dallas Mavericks. A great celebration for the Celtics fans, but the famous rapper Drake will not have slept so well after the game.
The Canadian artist lost a considerable amount in Bitcoin (BTC) by betting on the outcome of the NBA Finals.
Dallas Mavericks lose
Drake, an avid lover of sports and gambling, placed a whopping $500,000 in Bitcoin on the Dallas Mavericks to win the NBA Finals on June 6. Unfortunately for him, the NBA Finals turned out differently than expected, and he saw his bet evaporate last night after the Celtics won their fourth game.
The rapper is known for his big bets and is no stranger to losing. He has lost large amounts on several occasions in the past, but has also made impressive winnings. Nevertheless, he remains optimistic and does not seem to be too impressed by this loss. After all, half a million is a small sum for the superstar.
Although Drake’s slip-up is an entertaining headline, this incident shows how Bitcoin is becoming increasingly integrated into various sectors, including the world of entertainment and sports betting. It’s interesting to see prominent figures like Drake getting involved in the crypto scene.
Second chance for Drake
Although Drake lost a significant amount, he remains an example of the increasing involvement of celebrities in the crypto world. His loss may be large, but it probably won’t stop him from making another bet in the future, perhaps again with Bitcoin.
In fact, today is also an exciting day for the Canadian. On June 6, he also bet half a million dollars on the NHL’s Stanley Cup final. If the Edmonton Oilers win tonight, Drake will earn over a million and will sleep much better than yesterday.
