Record Bitcoin Bet on the Kentucky Derby to be Announced by BUSR

BUSR, a boutique online gaming company which boasts celebrity clientele and professional athletes, will release a statement on Wednesday, April 28th regarding rumors of the largest bitcoin wager on the Kentucky Derby.

In 2018, the largest wager on the Kentucky Derby using bitcoin was made at BUSR by a player who bet 10 bitcoins on Justify, ridden by Mike Smith, the eventual Triple Crown Winner.

Rumors of a wager by another “crypto enthusiast” which dwarfs the 2018 figure will be addressed on Wednesday, the day after the Kentucky Derby draw, according to James Ross, BUSR spokesperson.

The 147th Kentucky Derby will be run on Saturday, May 1st at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Fans can tune in to NBC or stream on PeacockTV at 6:50PM ET for the main race.
