Exactly one week ago, hip-hop mogul and multi-millionaire Birdman boasted to his 675,000-plus Twitter followers that he planned on betting $5 Million on the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. Although rapper 50 Cent temporarily wanted $1 Million of Birdman’s action, only BetOnline.com stepped-up and was willing to take on the entire $5 Million wager. Get all the latest Super Bowl prop bets and odds at BetOnline.com here and claim up to $900 in FREE CASH (based on initial deposit).
As of today, Wednesday February 1st, 2012, BetOnline.com has yet to hear back from Birdman on their offer, leaving the online sportsbook no other choice but to set a deadline for Birdman to place the wager.
“As a licensed and regulated company based out of Panama City, Panama, we regularly take large-scale bets from serious gamblers,“ stated Dave Mason from BetOnline.com. “But since we’re an international company, and since wiring $5 million could take up to three days, Birdman must sign-up with an account and then post-up the $5 Million dollars by end of day today.
Mason notes that, unfortunately, the betting public feels Birdman is all chirp. The odds on Birdman making the bet reflect the same sentiment. On Monday when the proposition bet 'Will Birdman Bet 5 million at BetOnline.com' opened, the 'yes' paid out +500. And, the 'no' was -700, meaning one would have to lay $700 to win $100.
After just 48 hours of Birdman silence, and tons of one-sided action against him making the bet, the 'no' has become the biggest favorite ever offered at BetOnline.com. At this point, a bettor has to lay $600 to return only $20 on the 'no'. To say this speaks volumes is a huge understatement.
“It’s kind of a shame. I’ve always been a big fan of Birdman’s work,” stated Mr. Mason. “When I heard that he wanted to get-down for $5 Million on the Super Bowl, I knew BetOnline.com was place for him to do it, since we cater to big bettors. Unfortunately, instead of putting his money where his mouth is, he has gone into hiding, disappointing all of his supporters in the process.”
“And Birdman letting down his fans is absolutely the worst part; we really don’t know what to tell them when they call,” Mr. Mason continued. “Birdman is losing tons of street cred by not following through with his boast. I think it is safe to say that even Birdman's backers are now betting against him fulfilling his $5 million Super Bowl bet on the Patriots at this point.”
Birdman can restore his damaged reputation by signing-up immediately at www.BetOnline.com and sending an email to David@BetOnline.com to get bank wire instructions, but it has to happen today. “The clock is ticking, Birdman,” said Mason.
