Gronkowski bet $69 on Gronkowski to win Belmont

Charles Curtis | USA TODAY

Rob Gronkowski loving the number 69 will never, ever die.

On 6/9, with the horse, Gronkowski, named after him that opened at 69/1 odds at the Belmont Stakes, the New England Patriots tight end placed a bet while in attendance.

Guess how much it was for?

His brother Chris also participated in the fun:

If Rob Gronkowski the horse wins the Belmont stakes then the first 69 people that repost this get a free @iceshakerbottle #winning — Chris Gronkowski (@Chrisgronkowski) June 9, 2018

So did the rest of the Gronkowski family:

I can confirm that the 69 jokes are NOT getting old to the Gronkowskis. They were so happy Gronk the horse had post postion No. 6, but so disappointed that there were 10 horses in the race, not 9. — Nora Princiotti (@NoraPrinciotti) June 10, 2018

Proud day for the Gronk clan.
