Canadian rap star Drake has placed a $500,000 bet on the Edmonton Oilers to win the Stanley Cup.
Drake posted a screenshot on Wednesday of the bet placed with gambling website Stake on his Instagram account with the caption “Oilers are self-explanatory.”
He also bet on the Dallas Mavericks to win the NBA title.
If both bets come through, he will get a payout of $2.4 million.
Drake often posts screenshots of his big-money bets on Instagram.
He has been hit-and-miss of late. In January, he lost a $700,000 bet on Sean Strickland to defeat Dricus du Plessis at UFC 297 in Toronto.
A month later he pocketed nearly $1.2 million betting on the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl.
The Stanley Cup final between the Oilers and the Panthers starts Saturday in Sunrise, Fla.
