Odell Beckham Jr. Could potentially make a significant amount of money from Super Bowl LVI, as his contract includes an additional $1 million in incentives – located in Thousand Oaks, California.
Drake could also do so.
According to his Instagram account, the rapper and Beckham’s close companion has wagered almost $1.26 million in Bitcoin on the Los Angeles Rams and their standout receiver during Sunday’s match against the Cincinnati Bengals.
“Dude,” Beckham said with a chuckle when asked Friday about the bets, “I have to deliver for him.”
Among the three wagers, Drake shared images on his Instagram profile on Thursday. He placed a bet on the Rams to emerge victorious, putting more than $471,000 at stake – when converted from Canadian to U.S. Dollars – in hopes of receiving over $711,000 as a payout. The remaining two bets were placed on Beckham achieving more than 62.5 receiving yards and scoring a minimum of one touchdown. Drake risked approximately $393,000 on each bet, resulting in payouts of nearly $711,000 and exceeding $844,000.
“Laugh Now Cry Later,” Drake’s 2020 hit, featured Beckham in the music video. “The entire family has placed their bets,” read his social media post. According to his caption, if Drake wins all three bets, he will receive a total payout of $2.267 million, resulting in a profit slightly exceeding $1 million.
“All of those things are highly achievable. Taking it one play at a time, I remain focused, I execute the plays, I successfully catch every pass if I stick to my game plan. Frankly, I have this feeling of accomplishment, like ‘Wow, we actually did it.’ And experiencing that immense joy, I lock eyes with my teammates, thinking, I just want to proudly raise that trophy. In the end, my friend, I must deliver for him,” Beckham reiterated.
During this season, Beckham has successfully scored a touchdown in six out of his 11 games with the Rams. Moreover, in four of those matches, he managed to accumulate a minimum of 63 receiving yards.

I can handle this.’ However, simultaneously, I yearn to be present. Thus, it hasn’t been simple, yet it is a plethora of blessings.”
