YouTube sensation Jake Paul and Rick Ross have seemingly joined forces. The multi-time Grammy nominated artist recently made an appearance on Paul’s latest venture B/S with Jake Paul. During the episode, Ross showed support to his hometown NFL team The Miami Dolphins, and went on to reveal a bet that paid over 36 times the amount invested.

It’s a bet going on right now. You bet 100k on the Miami Dolphins winning the super bowl. The payout I believe is 3.6(million). What do you think? ” said Ross.

He then added that this bet was great because of the young and highly talented prospects Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill. “I think it’s a great bet, everybody, watching I think it’s a great bet. It’s not really a dominant team. It’s not the patriots what it was 5 years ago and what the Miami Dolphins got right now with Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill,” he added.

However, what Paul was fascinated about was the payout on the bet. Ross claimed that betting a million dollars would net them $36 million if the Dolphins won the Superbowl, after which Paul shockingly said, “That’s crazy.”

This was enough for The Problem Child to ask Ross if he wanted to go in on this bet together. This meant that each of them would put in $500,000 and split the payout equally if they won. Ross then confidently told Paul that he would bet on the Dolphins for no reason. However, Paul wasn’t as confident as Ross and stated that he didn’t have much information about the team. “I don’t have an understanding like I can’t speak because I haven’t seen any other teams practice, so there’s nothing to compare,” he said.

The Ohio-based boxer then proposed that they should roll the dice to overcome this dilemma. He stated that if he rolled a four on the dice, he will go ahead with the bet. However, Ross added the number 6 as well. The two of them had a toast before Ross rolled the dice, which landed on a 4.
