The 2022 NBA playoffs are right around the corner, which means another opportunity for Drake to indulge his gambling habit. Having already bet big money on the NFL, UFC and NCAA this year, the 6 God took to his Instagram story on Thursday (April 14) to share the big bet he’s placed on the upcoming NBA playoffs. .
Drizzy’s bet slip – from his favorite betting app, Stake – shows he bet $200,000 CAD (about $1,793,000 USD) on the Golden State Warriors to win the Western Conference. If Steph Curry and co. end up being crowned Western Conference champions in June, the OVO rapper is on his way to earning 1 million Canadian dollars (2000 US dollars).
“Such an unpredictable year… can I see the future? @stake,” he captioned the screenshot with a crystal ball emoji.
The 2022 NBA playoffs kick off Saturday, April 16 with a trifecta of games, starting with the Dallas Mavericks versus the Utah Jazz. After that, basketball fans can watch the Memphis Grizzlies take on the Minnesota Timberwolves, followed by the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Toronto Raptors in Drake’s hometown.
As for Drake’s predicted Western Conference champions, the No. 3 Golden State Warriors begin their postseason against the 6th-seeded Denver Nuggets on Saturday night. Steph Curry and co. haven’t reached the Western Conference Finals since 2019, when they crushed the Portland Trailblazers 4-0 before being beaten 4-2 by the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Finals.

But after a few dismal seasons that saw them miss out on the playoffs entirely following Kevin Durant’s departure to Brooklyn, the Golden State Warriors rebounded this year with a respectable 53-29 regular-season record, propelled by another solid campaign of Steph Curry, as well as the return of fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson and increased contributions from Most Improved Player nominee Jordan Poole.
Drake has made no secret of his love for Steph Curry and the Warriors, having referenced them several times in his rhymes. “I was Steph Curry with the hit / I cooked with the sauce, Chef Curry with the pot, boy,” he rapped on “0 to 100,” while on “Summer Sixteen,” he bragged about “Golden State running practice at my house.”

Drake hopes to have better luck than he has had in recent weeks. In March, the Certified Lover Boy suffered a loss of $275,000 after Colby Covington defeated Jorge Masvidal in their UFC 100,000 bout. A few weeks later, he lost another $81.77 when the University of North Carolina Tar Heels beat their fierce rivals, the Duke University Blue Devils, 77-77 in the National Championship Game of the NCAA.
However, Drake saw (most of) his $1.26 million bet on Super Bowl LVI pay off in February. Thanks to the Los Angeles Rams’ 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals and Odell Beckham Jr.’s touchdown in the first quarter, the 6 God pocketed $1.55 million.
