Drake Loses US$1 Million Soccer Bet

Canadian rapper Drake seems like a cursed man after encountering another huge loss of $1 million after betting on Argentina to win the 2022 World Cup title.

Drake placed wagers of $1 million, predicting that Lionel Messi’s inspired Argentina will emerge as victors against the 2018 World Cup champions, France.

Indeed Argentina won against France but not in regular time. The match ended 4-2 on penalties after the nerve-wracking and scintillating game ended 3 all in extra time.

According to betting rules, Drake couldn’t win since he predicted that Argentina was to win in regular time.

Before the nail-biting match, Drake was recorded donning a Napoli sweater, saying he would back Argentina to bag its third World Cup title in regular time.

In the video, he was heard saying:

“I’ll take Argentina; he’ll take France. That will be a vibe,” to someone off-screen, indicating that a wager has been struck ahead of the match.”

The God’s Plan singer even took to Instagram to flaunt the ticket with a massive payout of $2.75 million.

Lately, Drake has lost a couple of million dollars betting on various teams.

In October, the Canadian rapper placed a bet of £533,000 on Arsenal to win at Leeds United and Barcelona to defeat arch-rivals Real Madrid in the Premier League and La Liga, respectively.

As Drake predicted, the Premier League side Arsenal emerged victorious against Leeds United, defeating the latter 1-0 courtesy of Bukayo Saka’s first-half goal.

However, Drake was unfortunate when Barcelona lost 3-1 to Los Blancos away from home. 

The rapper was supposed to win a whooping £2.5 million if Barcelona had defeated Real Madrid.

Besides losing the above bet, Drake also lost £368,000 after Leon Edwards knocked out Kamaru Usman.
