Drake is betting big this summer.

Drake has a massive contract with the crypto gambling site Stake. Overall, this is a company that has sponsored a lot of people, including creators who stream. They seem to have a whole lot of money, and they are not afraid to spend it. Although they may get criticism for being a gambling site, they are still going strong. Much of this has to do with Drizzy's constant social media posts in which he shows off his massive sports bets. Although Drake has lost his fair share of bets, he has also won quite a few.

In the Instagram post down below, you can see that he bet on the NBA Finals. Here, we have two bets. Firstly, he opted to bet $250K on the Denver Nuggets beating the Miami Heat in five games. This would win him $850,000. Secondly, he bet $1 million on the Nuggets to win the series outright. This would only gain him $1.23 million as the odds are in the Nuggets' favor. Overall, this is a series that the Denver Nuggets should win, especially with how they won Game 1.

Drake Predicts The NBA Finals

If you watched last night, you would have seen a Nuggets team that truly dominated from start to finish. While the Heat came on strong in the fourth quarter, it was too little too late. The Nuggets are just a powerhouse of a team, and consequently, very few people have the Heat coming back. The Nuggets are undefeated at home in these playoffs, and that likely will not change. It's sad, but ultimately true.

In our prediction, which you can read below, we said that the Nuggets would win this series in 5. Drake must be a HotNewHipHop reader. All jokes aside, this series is not going to be close, although we wish it was. Let us know what you thought of Game 1, in the comments section below.
