America is gearing up for its biggest sports battle of the year, and Canadian rapper Drake is betting the house on the big game.
The Canadian rapper put down a series of wagers totaling $1.3 million worth of the digital coin on Thursday. The Rams are favored to win by 3.5 points.
Drake wagered $393,000 on Rams wide receive Odell Beckham Jr. scoring a touchdown while also betting the same amount that Beckham would have more than 62.5 receiving yards during the game.
If Drake wins each of his bets, he stands to get paid $2.29 million based on the value of bitcoin at the time the wagers were placed, according to the online betting app Stake.

Beckham, the former Cleveland Browns and New York Giants star, signed with the Rams during the middle of this current season. Beckham caught 27 passes for 305 yards and five touchdowns in eight regular-season games with the Rams.
He has been even better in the playoffs, with 19 receptions for 236 yards and a score in three victories. He had nine catches for 113 yards against San Francisco in the NFC championship game two weeks ago.
Drake’s bets are looking damn good to hit on Sunday.
