Dave Portnoy is officially the most Americanized American ever—besides being a sports personality. The Barstool Sports founder surely knows how to make a quick buck through cryptocurrency. According to his claims, he cashed out on Donald Trump‘s meme coin and spent it all on his favorite NFL team to win this season.
Dave Portnoy recently bought $500k worth of meme coins from $TRUMP President-elect Donald Trump only to have it double down in 12 hours. The sports enthusiast called it a FOMOOSC- fear of missing out on sh*t coins. As it turned out, Portnoy cashed out on his $1 million gained from a 200% hike.
After this announcement early Sunday morning, Portnoy declared his plans to put the money on Bills the other night, which he did for higher stakes. The NFL observer gambled his money on the team to win their first Super Bowl this year.
The same night, the Bills hosted the Baltimore Ravens for the AFC divisional round at the Highmark Stadium. True to their form, the Bills knocked out the Ravens in a thrilling 27-25 match. So far, so good for Dave Portnoy. Next up, the Bills will face the Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday in the AFC Championship Game.

Either the former takes home their first trophy or the latter takes away their third consequent win, making ultimate NFL history. Only a few days before everybody gets the 2024-25 champion. However, this won’t be the first time the Barstool Sports founder has invested a chunk of money in sports, more specifically on the Bills.
Dave Portnoy claimed the NFL is rigged following his disappointing loss on a Bills vs Eagles bet
Dave Portnoy apparently has placed his trust in the Buffalo Bills for quite some time now. However, it has not always been fruitful for the Barstool Sports founder. One such time was when the Buffalo Bills lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2023 Finals lineup.
Apparently, Portnoy placed a ‘monster bet’ on the Bills, an undisclosed amount, that he lost with their 27-24 overtime loss. After the match, he accused the NFL of being rigged. Additionally, he tweeted indicating blame on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for being partial to the Eagles.

In another post, he pledged to have quit gambling, which he evidently did not. The self-proclaimed ‘degenerate gambler’ is known for placing bets with high stakes. With his recent one with the Bills again, only time will tell if he quits gambling or cash in big time.
