Jake Paul lost $250,000 after backing either the Buffalo Bills or the Los Angeles Rams to run the ball in the first play of the NFL season.
YouTube star Paul has generated huge wealth from his fighting career in the past couple of years and will take to the ring in his sixth professional bout against Anderson Silva on October 29 at the Gila River Arena in Phoenix. As he continued to be thrown into the limelight, Paul has made several wagers with people during his career including promoter Eddie Hearn where he bet $1 million on Amanda Serrano to beat Katie Taylor, but the bet was eventually cancelled.
He is known for being a fan of the NFL and had already placed a bet joining forces with rapper Rick Ross to stake $1 million on Miami Dolphins winning next year's hallmark Super Bowl. Paul then placed a wager on the opening day of the season on the first play being a run between the LA Rams and the Buffalo Bills.
