Drake’s Costly Betting Ventures 💸
Canadian musician and actor Aubrey Drake Graham, aka Drake, is known for his hefty bets on major sports events. Recently, he wagered a staggering $300,000 worth of Bitcoin on Canada to triumph over Argentina in the Copa America semi-final.
- Canada’s football team faced long odds as the underdog, with a 9.60 chance of victory.
- A win would have netted Drake over $2.5 million in Bitcoin.
Betting Misfortunes 🎲
Unfortunately for Drake, this defeat isn’t an isolated incident. He has a history of significant losses from betting on various competitions:
- Last month, he bet $500,000 in BTC on the Dallas Mavericks to win the NBA final, but they fell to the Boston Celtics.
- Earlier in 2024, he wagered $700,000 in Bitcoin on a UFC fight where his pick, Sean Strickland, lost.
- Two years ago, a $234,000 BTC bet on Charles Leclerc winning the Spanish Grand Prix ended in disappointment as Max Verstappen took the victory.
- A $600,000 cryptocurrency bet on FC Barcelona in the El Clasico derby also failed to pay off.
The Drake Curse 🧙♂️
Drake’s repeated betting setbacks have given rise to the “Drake curse,” a belief that teams or athletes he supports tend to underperform. The curse seems to extend beyond the world of sports, embracing various competitions across different fields.
