Jay-Z hopes the Oklahoma City Thunder will beat the Indiana Pacers in the NBA finals, as Hoff reportedly bets $1 million on OKC to win everything.
HOV puts seven-digit bets on NBA final results
TMZ reported on Thursday (June 5) that Jigga participated in the NBA finals. In fact, he won the Thunder in five games and won the Thunder’s bet of $1 million. The rap billionaire reportedly put down his bet with entrepreneur Michael Rubin’s fanatic sportsbook. If HOV’s bet intuition is correct, he will make $2.3 million in profit.
What is Jay-Z’s chance to win?
Thunder is the love that wins everything. However, their first game on Thursday night drastically lowered their chances. Now, OKC, led by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, will have to win four consecutive games for Jay to collect. It is indeed a difficult task. Anyway, HOV is not causing damage to cash. As of March 2023, his net worth was listed as US$2.5 billion.

Jay-Z pushes Times Square Casino
Speaking of bets, Jay-Z recently pushed to be the first black casino owner in New York. Last month, the founder of ROC Nation sat in a meeting with Democratic Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, where he bid for one of three gaming licenses expected to be issued in New York later this year.
Roc Nation joined SL Green Realty Corp. and Caesars Entertainment to get a casino bid at Times Square. The New York State Gaming Facilities Location Commission is expected to make a decision on three lower casino licenses by December 1, 2025.
