Drake, a Canadian rapper, lost yet another large wager after betting $1 million on Argentina to defeat France in the World Cup final’s extra time.
Drake’s wager was unsuccessful when the Lusail Stadium game ended with a score of 2-2 after 90 minutes.
A video of Drake supporting Argentina in the World Cup final while sporting the Napoli jersey surfaced on social media before the kick-off of the World Cup final.
‘I’ll take Argentina, he’ll take France. That will be a vibe,’ Drake said in the footage that appears to be filmed in a studio with a friend.
The wager was shared by the rapper on Instagram. The bet would have paid out $2.75 million if Argentina had won in the first 90 minutes at Lusail Stadium.
The Canadian has recently made a number of enormous wagers on sporting events.
When Israel Adesanya faced Alex Pereira last month to defend his title, he lost nearly $2 million wager.
Drake previously wagered $649,000 on a football accumulator that included Barcelona to defeat Real Madrid in the El Clasico and Arsenal to defeat Leeds.
In the Premier League, Arsenal defeated Leeds 1-0, while Barcelona was defeated 3-1 by Real Madrid.
Drake also bet $230,000 that Charles Leclerc would win this year’s Spanish Grand Prix, but the Ferrari driver had engine trouble.
Numerous teams and sportsmen have lost prospective sporting events after coming into contact with the rapper, leading to frequent references to the “Drake curse.”
Shortly after taking a picture with Drake, the Canadian national team lost both of its games in Qatar and was eliminated from the group stage.
After being seen with Drake, Conor McGregor lost in the UFC, and Anthony Joshua was knocked out by Andy Ruiz Jr. in their first heavyweight title match of 2019.
Just as we reported before the World Cup Final in Qatar, the rapper bet on Argentina to win full time but it was a full time draw – so it is a loss.
Drake has Wagered Over $1 Billion?
Canadian rapper Drake has gained widespread recognition with the release of his debut album, “Thank Me Later,” in 2010.
However, since becoming an official ambassador for the online cryptocurrency casino Stake.com, the “6 God,” as he is called, has made ripples in the online gaming sector.
Here, we talk about his betting preferences, everything he has bet thus far, and his winnings.
History Of His Biggest Bets

- 👎 Total Losses: CA$40.5 million ($30.6 million)
Our analysis found 11 major losses and 18 remarkable wins from January to November 2022.
This covers bets on international sports like the UFC and Formula 1, as well as bets on American leagues like the NFL and NBA.
It also contains his bets on Stake.com, where it is obvious that he enjoys playing roulette.
As part of his collaboration with Stake, he experienced some of his greatest achievements during live-streamed events.
In reality, he won more than $17 million in May on a single play of a live roulette wheel.
He lost approximately $660,000 on wagers on the UFC and Formula 1 during the same month.
Drake’s largest losses since January have all come from his different sports wagers, with the exception of an eight-figure casino loss (when he lost just under $25 million with French Montana).
Despite his setbacks, the native of Toronto won almost $76.42 million in a little more than 10 months.
Drake is entering the new year with more than $46.81 million in profits after subtracting the $29.61 million in losses.
