50 Cent – Sports Bettor and Bitcoin Millionaire
While Curtis James Jackson III a.k.a. 50 Cent may be known for making millions on hip-hop/rap music and cryptocurrency, he is also proficient in sports betting. These are our picks for 50 Cent’s biggest bets, winnings, losses and stories related to his gambling habits of all time.
- New York Giants Bettings
In 2012, he reportedly dropped $500,000 on sports Championship wager between the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants. Hailing from the Big Apple himself, it’s only natural that 50 Cent is a fan of New York’s very own Giants.
But what did he do next? Renegaded on the deal and bet it on the Giants all over again, of course. Following his luck gambling on the Giants en route to Super Bowl XLVI it appears he splashed a full million on them winning the showpiece game. They duly obliged with a 21-17 victory, leaving Fifty laughing “straight to the bank” to quote his own song.
- Getting Out Of a Million Dollar Betting Debt Without Spending Money
Webster Gradney Jr., better known by his stage name Webbie, walked to the ring for the boxing matchup between Terence Crawford and Yuriorkis Gamboa, and bumped into 50 Cent. He claims that he issued a $1 million wager whilst in the ring – but that he never received his winnings after Crawford won the bout. When 50 Cent’s sports management team SMS Promotions were contacted for comment, they claimed to have heard nothing of the sort. Whilst there is no questioning 50’s allegiance – he was there managing Gamboa – we’re not too sure we believe Webbie on this one. Whilst Fiddy definitely loves a gamble we’re not sure he’d spontaneously slap down a full million in the spur of the moment.
- Getting His Debts Back with Social Media
It is so natural that big players not only have big debts, they also have large debtors. Randall Emmett is best known as an American television and film producer. 50 publicly called Emmett out on Instagram over a $1 million debt from about six years ago. The million dollar debt stemmed from Emmett’s involvement in his Cheetah Vision films company, and that the money Emmett owed him was well overdue from a business expense. 50 shared that $250,000 of what was owed was paid over the weekend. 50 Cent continued his barrage with seven Instagram posts in just a few hours to his 23 million subscribers. According to himself, he was paid right away.
- Accidental Bitcoin Millionaire
And finally, some people are really lucky with their investments. To be more precise – with their forgotten investments. One of those lucky bastards is our hero, Mr. Curtis James Jackson III. He simply let fans purchase his album “Animal Ambition” for just a fraction of a Bitcoin in 2014, when its price hovered around 601.3 eur, with the rapper making 700 Bitcoin from sales.

The company’s NFT collections provide daily bitcoin rewards to holders, with their substantial fleet of real equipment installed across the globe. Continuing their successful streak after the highly acclaimed East NFT Collection, this latest release marks the next installment in a series of crypto art devoted to various regions. GoMining’s fresh North NFT Collection draws inspiration from three key references: the critical role of low temperatures in mining device operations, the restraint and resilience found in northern regions, and the empowering force driving their endeavors. These references served as the foundation for the collection’s captivating images, reflecting the core principles behind GoMining’s innovative approach to bitcoin mining.
GoMining’s new NFT series is issued on the Binance Smart Chain, utilizing the BEP-20 standard for seamless integration and accessibility. With an impressive energy efficiency rating of 35 W/TH, these NFTs ensure the quickest payback period for holders. Moreover, the NFTs offer a diverse range of computing power options, spanning from 1 to 128 TH/s, accommodating various mining requirements and preferences.
In just over two years, GoMining has achieved remarkable growth. The platform has distributed more than 2,000 BTC to holders, issued 20,000 NFTs, and elevated its overall hash power from 100,000 TH/s to an astounding 2,359,877 TH/s. This exponential progress showcases the project’s resounding success and commitment to innovation in the cryptocurrency and NFT space.
As per GoMining’s CEO Mark Zalan, the company is doing everything to offer a broad variety of options to its holders, proving its sustainability and transparent approach. “We’ve been in operation for over two years providing consistent rewards for our holders daily. All of our efforts are aimed at showing tangible infrastructure behind the product – in this case real equipment with data centers in different regions like Norway.”
GoMining remains dedicated to introducing updated versions of its NFTs, originally crafted to provide easier access to bitcoin mining. All NFT collections, such as the renowned collaboration with MMA star Khabib Nurmagomedov, combine visually stunning designs with real equipment-generated computing power, offering continuous mining rewards to their owners.

New study reveals the cryptocoins that the US wants to sell the most
A new study has revealed the cryptocoins Americans want to sell the most, with Bitcoin taking the top spot.
The research was conducted by crypto gambling experts at cryptogambling.tv, who analyzed Google Trends data to establish the cryptocurrencies the US wants to sell the most out of the 24 largest cryptocurrencies by market cap, giving an average weekly search volume for the interest in selling each cryptocoin.
The study revealed that Bitcoin has the highest number of searches from Americans looking to sell this cryptocurrency. Searches to ‘sell bitcoin’ were the highest at the end of July in the United States and worldwide.
Many factors might sway someone to sell their Bitcoin, with the main reason being the current financial and economic strain many countries in the world are facing, prompting people to tap out and cut their losses. Last year the price of the cryptocoin dropped below $16,000, which highlights its downfall tremendously, and with Bitcoin’s value being based purely on speculation, it can be challenging for those who don’t know whether or not to stick with it.
Ethereum is the second cryptocoin Americans want to sell the most, with searches for ‘sell Ethereum’ being the highest in September worldwide. Although the currency is known for owning around 20% of the global crypto market, those wanting to invest tend to agree that it is one of the safest long-term coins. The current price of Ethereum is $1,458, and with the cryptocoin shifting its process from PoW to PoS, it’s predicted its supply may reduce.
XRP is the third cryptocoin Americans want to sell the most, as it is predicted that its price will be near $0.198 by the end of this year. XRP runs by RippleNet and is a low-cost coin which is excellent for those who want to begin investing; however, due to the current lawsuit proceedings with the SEC, there is a significant decrease in interest for the currency, which has undoubtedly urged investors to act fast and sell.
The fourth cryptocoin Americans want to sell the most is Dogecoin, which, although it has remained one of the top cryptocurrencies in the industry, is still not a solid investment for many investors. The coin rose over 15,000% over 2021, and for a cryptocoin which was created as a joke when it first began, it has truly exceeded expectations. Many avoid investing in Dogecoin due to its price volatility, no supply limit, and not being as widely accepted as other competing coins; these are reasons why many also want to sell.
Shiba Inu is the fifth cryptocoin that Americans are looking to sell, and while the coin is top-rated, it is advised that those looking to invest should not use it as a long-term investment. The coin is down almost 92% since 2021, but many investors hope it will still go up in time as it is currently at over 589 trillion.
An expert at cryptogambling.tv commented: “The cryptocurrency market is forever fluctuating, and with the increase in economic stress worldwide, it can be an uncertain and nerve-racking time for those hoping to make sound investments in the crypto world.
“This study offers an interesting insight into which cryptocoins Americans currently want to sell, with Bitcoin being the most popular to sell.”
