Jay-Z has $1 million bet riding on specific Thunder-Pacers NBA Finals outcome | Sporting News

Jay-Z is about to sweat it out.

The famed rapper placed a $1 million bet on the NBA Finals, and it's already in jeopardy after Tyrese Haliburton's game-winner for the Pacers stunned the Thunder on Thursday night.

According to TMZ , Jay-Z wagered on a very specific outcome: The Thunder to win the NBA Finals in exactly five games.

That means the series had to turn out specifically 4-1 in favor of OKC.

If it does, Jay-Z wins $2.3 million on top of his $1 million investment (to take home $3.3 million in total).

There would've been wiggle room if the Thunder managed to not blow their 15-point fourth quarter lead on Thursday night.

OKC has to win four in a row exactly, or Jay-Z is out of a million dollars.

It's a lot closer to pocket change for the rapper than it is for most.

He's worth more than $2 billion, TMZ writes.

It's still a hefty paycheck, though.

And it'd feel a lot better to win than lose.

The Thunder are likely hoping Jay-Z didn't curse their chances with this big-money bet.

And he's sure hoping they use the tough loss as motivation to sweep the rest of the way.
