The Drake's Curse.

He lost on the right man. We have experienced losses but not as bad as this...this is just terrible.

What do the gambling folks have to say about this?

Feel for him though,  but then it's gambling and he shouldn't take it seriously to the point of betting with an amount he can't afford to let go,  Drake has been one of the lucky celebrities to have enjoyed some endorsement from casinos.

Drake can afford to let go as his part of support to the casino if he had placed the bet online his loss is the casino's win reason why there is no sure bet,  even though he had all the statical support for his straight winning but then gambling results are unpredictable.

Drake's net worth is $260 Million. He lost $0.85 million. Probably he can afford to lose it. Not all days are good for gamblers. There are days he also won.

But if I am Drake and have money like this, I can not spend on gambling like this.

Drake is beginning to get quite relevant in the world of gambling and with his continuous predictions not always favoring him I think one might actually be on the watch out for the type of games or sports he bets on and then go against his own predictions. This can be called double cross gambling  ;D

Seriously his curse is something else, could remember him betting on Barca to win last year’s el Classico and he ended losing. The other was him betting on Argentina to win the World Cup against France and the game went to penalties and Argentina won but Drake’s bet was for regular time

This is not the last money for him, we can say that he did not notice this loss. But the fact that his series continues is very funny. By the way, is it really continuous or sometimes did his high roll bets bring profit? In general, when I read news like this, I have a desire to play against him, but one of my favorite things to do is bet against the continuation of streaks (wins or losses), so I have a feeling that as soon as I bet against Drake, he will win  :D

I don't know whether I should classify Drake as a compulsive Gambler or as someone who gambles for fun. You know when you are rich and have a lot of money people cannot tell if you are addicted to gambling or not. In fact their judgement of you is lenience because of course you have the money and you can do whatever you want to do with it.

It is his loss not ours. I know I wouldn't bet $850k on a game.

He is a risk taker. If Paul wins by KO, it sure is a big win. Surely he isn't the only one who bet for KO since they know Paul is bigger and they know Dillon is not a boxer as well.
I have done the same when I know the fighter is a good grappler with more than half of his win being by submission, I would likely be betting for Submission as well. Sadly, sometimes it just doesn't go our way.  Anyway, Drake is a millionaire and such an amount isn't big for him.

It may look a big loss to you but When a man like Drake’s net worth is $100+ million, losing a million isn’t that big at all. It is all relative. Him losing a million isn’t much different than a random guy with $100k losing $1k. You should also consider that this might be an act… You know there is a possibility that he didn’t lose anything. Sometimes people lie to get them sweet clicks/interactions. People lie all the time. There are thousands of people on utub that act like retards because it attracts people. You already think this Drake guy is cursed and creating a story for him. He is not the first dude in history with a bad gambling record.

Drake is a gambler that gambles with huge amount of money and not only on fights but he also gamble on stake with big funds. To him that is peanut compared to what he has, because he has an investment that pays him. So there is no need for us to worry about someone who has taken gambling as a means of spending his funds.

As for me, that is a huge amount of money down here in my country and I wouldn't work anymore for rest of my life because of the country that I am from, and that will be enough for me till when I will go and see my ancestors. This is the same with some of us but check out that Nigga, just gambled with it as if it is nothing. It is nothing to him but something very big to the public.

He is Stake official ambassador and probably that loss money is part of their partnership. I don’t consider this as terrible if it’s Drake since that kind of amount is just his one round total bet on a roulette table the last time I watch his live stream playing on Stake live games.

Back on topic, I rarely experience this because I don’t bet on a special conditional bet type of games. I’m more on match winner or handicap matches since predicting the exact outcome is really hard to do that’s why it’s odds is very high as a clear implication on how to hit it accurately.

Not much except that this shit can happen to anyone.Good luck he is being sponsored heavily by Stake and he will be feeling that punch a bit less than spending all his money from his own.It is stupid I would say to bet that huge amount on any event and even if you are sure that the event will end as you predict you can never know.

Of course he is a rapper and he does not care much as he makes a ton of money so that amount maybe is ridiculous to someone like him but to most of us it is a life changing event and we are waiting for some huge win from quite some years now without any luck,I guess this is the life not being fair to at least 96% of world population.

His pick was right, Logan just didn't win the right way. Such an unfortunate, no one could really guess this as it's more like a random thing, getting disqualified does not often happen in every card. He must have won with Tommy but this isn't publicized.

In the article, also mentioned he lost $500k in the fight of Adesanya vs Strickland. With this loss, he isn't the only one who lost an amount. The upset really maade bettors scratching their heads.

Sometimes I believe that the bigger the asset the higher the level of risk you take both in gambling,  trading or any other aspect of life,  losing such an amount is not a big deal for a high roller like Drake,  he has won a lot of money for such risks,  we only hear of his loses,  but what about his winning days.

He has a lot of contracts going on for him right now,  so I am sure losing that amount is not a big deal for Drake at this point in time.

I am not sure if there really is to say, the guy was just unlucky. I mean, Logan can definitely knock out Dillon(but there is still no guarantee about that) but who would have thought that Dillon would try to choke Logan during the fight and get himself disqualified. anyway, I have to say, that Dillon knew he wouldn't win and could possibly get knocked out, and that's why he decided to do what he did. In his eyes, it is better to get disqualified than to possibly get knocked out.

The winning was not the usual way and I'm sure drake didn't envisage it to come that way. He probably was confidence for winning his bet because he bet right but the unfortunate happened. That is why it is betting, anything can happen before the end of the bet.

However, drake is not a newbie gambler. He knows he has to protect his finance by not betting what he can't let go. He has lots of money and does giveaway alot to his fans, so he might also see this as one of those giveaways. Drake is a huge staker and this won't stop him to trying to hit more jackpots.

well, I had already mentioned that the rich can afford to play with a lot of money, when they put 2 million dollars in a casino to play, they already know that if they lose those 2 million dollars today in the casino, in In a few days they will have a profit of 2 million dollars coming from their businesses, so it's not like they are in despair when they lose money at the casino, they have enough money to pay their bills, for example when a rich guy puts in 1 million dollars and loses everything, he leaves to spend more money in a bar and with women, he doesn't even waste time crying because he lost money in a casino

Just look at cases of football players, the guys play and lose the game, but at night the guys are partying with women and drinking beer. This is the same thing that happens with rich people when they go to physical casinos, they go to have fun at the casino. but this does not happen with middle class and poor people, they play to be lucky enough to get rich and in the process they make the mistake of putting emotions into games and this leads to addiction, and in many cases middle class people and poor people play to forget the problems of the real world, in some cases they are financial problems

see that the rich spend a lot of money on drugs, they lose money in casinos and on drugs, sex and alcoholic beverages is part of their daily lives, a person like Drake, without a doubt, when he loses in a casino he will also spend more money in bars and with other things and the next day more money enters his bank account. Those rich guys have a lot of people taking care of their business so they don't end up in poverty, so it's unlikely they would lose everything gambling.

Drake knows his numbers very well. He won’t gamble an amount he cannot afford losing unlike us wherein that loss of him would put us in the grave. That’s just how gambling works; if the other way around happened, we’d be in both awe and envy. Higher the risk, higher the reward. For sure there are other people out there who are betting bigger amounts than ours, and we just have different level of tolerance.Drake has been losing amounts in such value not only in this fans so for sure he won’t be as down as with all of us. If he’d be in huge debt then for sure he won’t let it end in such way.

I have zero sympathy for someone throwing away such vast sums of money for relatively low returns. Gambling is a zero sum game, you either win or you lose, there is no partial payments or return of money on any result. Anyone driven by greed like this deserves to have it taken from them. However I'm skeptical that he even placed the bet, because he was rather shady in his dealing and endorsements from Stake.com, promoting them early on but only announcing a partnership a few months later. Either way, barring the disqualification the fight was extremely close and could have gone to Danis if he did not pull such a foul move. However the boxing world, even this offshoot of it, is all rather murky and it wouldn't surprise me if the outcomes were rigged in advance.

well, it was not his first big loss and definitely will not be his last. as a high roller gambler, he can easily get back such losses and for sure, he won't be very upset about such loss. or maybe, just for a second. but he won't be talking about it for long. we have seen how much he bets as he is regularly posting on his feed. just like this one, and of course, he betted at stake, a high roller ambassador of this gambling site. it is said he's already wagered like more than $1B at stake, so this one is no big deal.

To be honest, when I see him spending so much money every time on gambling, it makes me think that he is mainly promoting casinos only and not using actual money (that's my opinion), and this applies not only to his sport bettings but also to other games like roulette where he spends for exemple, one million dollar on a single roulette spin!

If it's genuinely his own money that he's using to bet and not a fake account given by the casino, then he might have a serious addiction. Regardless of his net worth, spending such a significant amount of money that could have a big impact in many people lives if he just donate it. And my question is, does he really enjoy doing this and how does he handle all the losses?

Remind me next time to bet against Drake's wager lol.

Well if you are a gambler, it is easy to claim to be very disciplined and not willing to spend the kind of amount drake spends on gambling when you do not have the kind of money Drake spends on gambling. If you are in the same financial class as Drake, you will not consider the money he uses to gamble as so much because that is an amount of money that you can afford to do without being that you earn so much. Sometimes do not act to be so disciplined when you have not been exposed to the kind of privileges that money can bring.

This is just a normal loss relatively speaking.  Drake is worth a quarter billion dollars.  This is like a normal person losing a couple hundred dollars.  It sucks buts not going to change your day.  Boxing bets like this are typical in that you bet the type of way they are gonna win or in what rounds.  So a ton of times people bet the right side but still lose.  It's like betting the favorite in football.  They win but don't cover the spread and you lose, same thing.

As a gambler you should understand that favourite most times doesn't win the game, that is why is called prediction. for you to predict and get the person that will successfully win the fight, shows that you have foresight. so you're ability analysis and get it right, show's that you know who will be the winner of the day. so if Drake's losses on this one, obviously his gambling foresight for this particular fight was inaccurate. Drake is millionaire, and his also a high staker in gambling. Though there a lots of good wins I've seen from him, His a professional gambler, and that title comes with you losing good money too. The higher the risk, the higher the reward they say, though the amount he has lost so far, wouldn't get to him financially because his a rich guy.

Not much to say.
It would not be the first time a celebrity losses and significant amount of money while betting, in the end, this is certainly money he can afford to lose and the point is for him to get entertainment out of it, I guess. Also keeping in mind the sponsorships he must have.

It is something it could have happened to anyone of us, but cetainly cannot ignore the bad record Drake has had lately when comes to losing money to casinos. Perhaps, he is just not as lucky as he would have been expected to be when he got into this interesting gambling hobby/world.

Though, it could be just matter of time before Drake's luck turns and starts having some wins over his bets.

To be honest I don't believe in Drake's bets very much. They don't explain it in the article but if the bet has been taken on Stake I don't think it's his own money. IMO I think it could be a promotional bet to be honest. Even rich people don't waste their money stupidly.

This kind of loss can be very frustrating because his bets were correct but were just affected by circumstances. In gambling sometimes you win and in some cases, you can lose and I am sure Drake knows this fact better than I do. He has also had some notable wins that gave him a fortune so this loss shouldn't be a big deal. Some people also think that his bets are a marketing strategy since he is an ambassador to one of the world's leading casinos. Nevertheless, I think Drake can endure this loss because he is rich.

I don't know what the news is here in the relevance that you want to put it, the real news is that he lost for a BB bet, nothing special, then, the odds improve when the winner is very feasible.

There are truly terrible losses when they are done very poorly, which is not the case here.

You want to see terrible losses, there are many others, but I recommend Nosebleed Game (poker), where money is lost in hundreds of thousands of dollars in just seconds or minutes... And there, if there are bad decisions, tilt, coalition... in short it was not a good guide or game path for everyone to follow.

There is not much to say, he made a bet and he lost, he is no different than all of us in that sense, the only difference is the amount of money that he is losing with each bet, but the guy is a millionaire which can afford it and at the same time he works for a casino as well, so he is likely receiving a good pay for all of those bets that he makes, in a nutshell I am not worried at all about him and the losses he may have suffered in the past while gambling.

This is also my thinking, maybe this is just part of promotional campaign with Stake but if Drake really loss the money because of over confident bet, then its his fault and we all know betting can also be risky especially if you complicate your bet just to win more. Logan did a great job at first, unfortunately he didn’t win via knock out, well at least he still won and got lucky for staying alive.

Drake's substantial losses might have just been a coincidence after all; more frequently compared to inaccurate, he wagers against the erroneous teams and makes jokes about such a huge amount of money. considering the documented losses haven't disturbed him. Drake constitutes both an established and popular celebrity. He was the type of gambler who really enjoyed making predictions, even to the point of severely squandering. He routinely posts the games on which he has already placed bets. Since he is significantly wealthier than any of us, he continues to generate daily income from sponsorships and his music, so this is of little concern to us. He also operates other businesses, but he will keep them off the internet since he is aware of the potential harm that the media may inflict.

That's nothing to Drake though, I mean that's one spin for him in a roulette machine. His betting $1 million per spin and hopefully it land on his favorite number 11, so what are the odds are as compare to his bet on Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis?

Nothing spectacular bet or lose on Drake here. He will just take it on stride and then continue to gamble again and again. Others call it a curse, specially the media or even us ordinary gamblers.

But if you have that deep pocket and the way he play other games like roulette, this is just peanuts for him.

Gambling is gambling no matter what the selections may be, if i didn't win, it didn't win and he has to face reality and move on, gambling is full of ups and downtowns and loses that are the significance of the risks in gambling and so some point he already who and weight the level and extent at which he will go in his bet, but then this lose is a big one that will affect anyone no matter what they balance are, this also goes along with the saying that gambling can ruin someone life if not properly managed.
I feel for him anyway, and I wish him better luck next time and hope he builds up a thick skin from all of this experience.

I do not know why @OP calls it  a curse when losing in gambling is normal.  Aside from that, $850k  is just a drop from Drakes wealth since Drake has way much more wealth than the lost amount.  Although he bet on the right man there are several options choose from, it is that his chosen option do not win since Paul win through disqualification.  Drake still lost if Paul win through decision.  So I think there should be nothing to be surprised or shocked on this bet.

This is not the first time he has experienced losses in gambling, where in several previous bets he experienced bigger losses than that. And it would be a shame if such a large amount of money had to be wasted on gambling. Which I personally have never seen and have never felt so much money.

If only he could behave more wisely in managing his finances, maybe he would become a rich person whose money would not run out for 7 generations. But I really admire the mental toughness he has when making a bet, where the big defeat he suffered previously was not able to make him give up and instead he did something even crazier. Which is very different from me personally, when I lost and experienced losses amounting to hundreds of dollars, it made me regret it and made me able to break down my mentality in gambling and in the end I didn't dare to bet large amounts.

This is not the first time this guy is losing large amount in gambling before he have recently been known for his high test for gambling now are days he lose in most of his bets and won some, but he still don’t stop betting, he can afford that and I don’t even think it’s anything new to him again.

Although the game result was the opposite of what most people where expecting and I don’t think he is the only one to lose this big their age gamblers who might just remained silent and don’t talk about their since their life is not lived on social media and they like keeping things silent. He will recover and I don’t even think we should feel sorry for him, his lost is another man’s win and his wins is another man’s lose.

Yeah he has history of losing big in some exhibition fights and others. And if I'm not mistaken, he lost his bet on the Fury vs Jake Paul bout wherein he had Jake Paul winning. But unfortunately, Tommy Fury won that fight. It's reported that he lost like $350,000.

Drake though has a lot of money, so he can sleep over with another lost although for us this is already a big amount that we won't simply go and bet on a fight. But that's Drake though, he is a multi-millionaire, successful music rap artist and very influential too. You just have to watch some of insane bets on other games and losing millions in an instant.

I put myself in Drake's shoes and i think i would have bet on the side Drake chose. Unfortunately we agree and we lost. :) Drake does this all the time. His fortune is almost 250 Million Dollars and his bets are small compared to his fortune. Maybe the amount he bet on his last bet is enough to last us for the rest of our lives but things are different when it comes to Drake. Drake is reported to have earned 50 Million Dollars from Spotify alone. I think if i were him, i wouldn't leave the casino.

I would have a very high probability of losing my entire fortune. Drake's idea of gambling could be recreational and his constant use of the Stake platform could be an advertisement. I think that some of his high stakes gambling is not real and is done for advertising purposes. If Drake becomes an incorrigible gambler, we may see his life story evolve into the opposite in the future.

There is no denying the fact that Drake is a dumb gambler and many of his predictions goes through the shitter and in this case Dillon Danis does not even know how to fight let alone get into a boxing ring and Logan Paul is not known to be a knockout puncher either, placing a bet on Logan Paul and fight going the distance would be a smart move as it is only 6 rounds and neither are great boxers.

Why always him all the time? I don't understand how a celebrity like that would prefer to wager his funds comfortably just to get more funds... What's the sense in that?? Except he's doing that to enhance and satisfy his curiosity/humor, then it's not Worth the waste at all. I'm saying this because he's been losing severally and I just keep wondering how it becomes so viral - he's never posted any of his tickets whatsoever on the gram or anywhere else...has he??..
Maybe drake enjoys going through the money reduction process .. he's seen no other better ways to do so other than being an extravagant gambler.

I do not know if he can be able to afford to lose that kind of money but if I am rich like him I can not use high amount of money like that to gamble. I think gambling should be more of fun than chasing money. Drake have reality means of making money and I do not think a celebrity like that supposed to be a good example should be gambling with that huge amount if money.

That's just a small amount for his funds. He made the same bets during the Adesanya fights and other big events in the world of sports especially in physical contact sports. Drake loves betting on special events like this so I don't think he mind.
Also, the bet he took is a risky one in my opinion, he could just simply bet for the win of Logan Paul but he enhanced the profit by taking the KO/TKO bet which has no assurance that it could happen. And so it did not.
But this is nothing for Drake, I don't think we won't even see him regretting this bet. He just wants to show off his large sum of bet in social media and I doubt it matters to him if it will win or lose. It helps keep him upstairs on the trend and keep his popularity intact.
This is a proof of it, we are talking about him.

So as any other loss out there really. I reckon any gambler out there could relate in some level, and while it's not anything rare, it does make one wince considering how much money was actually lost in that bet, which was a win but not a win. I reckon that money is just a drop in the bucket of his assets though. It's pretty much the same level as someone spending maybe 5-10% of his total monthly salary on gambling (or anything entertainment-related). I'd feel terrible if I were him, but regret? Nah.

We can't deny how he has also made some money back then on some UFC matches. It could be stake doing there thing or it could be real game but I think that Drake is big enough to bet this kind of amount. My only fear is that if he continues this way, he will definitely go broke in 2-3 years time.

What if that match was rigged not to favor Logan, because for him to publicly display that, it will cause lots of havoc and maybe more people wanting Drake to lose instead of winning that match.

Drake is very popular I must say, I nearly place a bet with his predictions before that match because I was like if drake can bet this type of money with so much confidence, what is stopping you from reciprocating what he did, I wanted to bet that game badly but something stopped me which I'm glad I did, this is the influence of public icon.

So I understand why he did this as the plain odds were pretty flat, however I would have said to split the bets between straight win and this KO outcome.   It wasnt 15 rounds just the shortened match so its more likely to simply complete even if he is right on the winner quite easily it looked like.
   I bet on Logan to 'complete the distance' win by decision and that bet was denied and called a loss, I dont know why that would be especially.   I wasnt betting a large amount just at the last moment as I was watching, will have to figure out why it doesnt qualify so I can learn for next time.   So me and Drake just alike like that :P
  Somebody said Logan almost lost on a pure rules violation, due to the unusual end etc.

Not really a curse but something that could happen to anyone bad luck could run continuously and so is winning, this is not only Drake there are others it's just they are not sensationalized because they are not high-profile bettors.

This is a lesson for all of us when it comes to gambling whether it is sports betting or luck-based games you could lose your bet so only play with money that you can afford to lose.

I think it's time for Drake to think of other options or moderate his greed if this continues he will find himself with an empty pocket, anyway he can always do a concert to fill his pocket but it's just a waste of money putting in huge money.

He's been losing some of his bets, and I remember others mentioned fading him because of his luck. That big bet probably doesn't mean much for him since he's partnered with Stake, and we've seen other influencers place big bets like they're nothing to them.

It's understandable why he took it since that's where the value is when Paul was the big favorite for this match but an unexpected DQ happened.

I don't know about being "cursed" but I think he made a logical decision on Logan winning by KO or TKO. He just made a bad choice placing bets on these types of matches where it's more likely to get rigged than real professional boxing. It's stupid in my opinion but I guess there's money to be made so sponsors keeps shoving it down to people's throats.

Its his money then no matter what happens then its impossible that he wasnt aware. Its gambling after all and anything could happen even if the fighter had won but the market or choice or bet he had made was different then its still a loss. Yes, frustration and disappointment is there but having that 800k loss isnt first time but we know that Drake is a heavy gambler and its not really that shocking
that losses something like this is never been a first time. For sure he had already get used to it but well thats how gambling works which you win some or lose some which it would really be that according into your choice yet there's always the risks. We know drake is a heavy gambler so this one wont be an issue and as long he does have the money they they would really be continuing on playing
and make out bets and its none of our business on how much he would be using on his gambling activity whether he would be spending millions again or have some break.
Its not new anymore about this huge amount betting. IT is really just that luck doesnt come on his way and ended up something like this.

Yes, he just probably lost his bet, that's it, just like the rest of us here. Perhaps it was the amount that is in question and not about being "cursed" or what. He should have go with the ML bet, it's safe. But I guess he wants more and maybe the odds is not attractive to him and so he goes for the over/under bet.

Nevertheless, it just a reminder to everyone, that gambling is no fun if you are going to lose that big amount. Yes, it might not be huge for him as he has a good source of income and even had partnership with Stake. But still though, that is a good amount of money that if we look at it, doesn't make sense to put that kind of bet on a exhibition fight.

There's no need to exaggerate the defeat because that amount is very large for most people, but not for Drake, who has a net worth much bigger than that, and the defeat he experienced is like he is giving a small portion of what he has earned from gambling sites that use his services as brand ambassadors.
Losing when we feel we have chosen the right man is normal in betting because even though we bet at odds of 1.01 the chances of winning and losing are 50:50 because anything can happen and it is out of our control as bettors.
So Drake certainly knows the risks, that's why he only bets a small amount for the size of his ability, and if I'm not mistaken, he also lost another bet some time ago with an amount that was not much different.

It is funny that Drake always seems to lose his bets. He is a man in that he doesn’t take the easy bets at least. The safe play would have been Logan Paul to win but he went with the knockout as to make it a worth while payday for himself. I’m sure he’ll win one eventually. Probably free money from the advertiser anyway. :)

That's just one game, and you're already calling it a curse? Come on, Drake is a multimillionaire, and he is known to be a high roller. That's just something he can afford to lose, for sure. Since he's already a fan of gambling, I'm sure there are bigger wins or losses that haven't been disclosed yet.

I would only consider it a curse if Drake goes through a cold streak resulting in losses of at least $100 million, which is almost half of his net worth. For now, this isn't a huge issue for him; he'll bounce back anyway, with the mentality of a gambler.

There are gamblers that lose huge amounts of money much bigger than Drake loses but they are not made public, Drake is a prominent celebrity gambler and all his moves and bets are closely watched, Drake is losing a lot of money I don't think he can keep up if this continues even if you have a well of money it will soon get emptied if the losing streak continues.

Drake is just one example of a gambler who will not just stop with his losses and will try to recover his losses, let's see if the curse continues he better stop now or else he will go bankrupt or lose his mind no man can keep with those losses.

Drake is one of the richest rappers in the industry, and I think, losing that kind of amount of money does not hurt him that much because he is literally a millionaire, and he can earn that money again. Maybe he's only doing it for fun, and that immense amount of money is what he can pay in exchange for entertainment.
Maybe for us it is a huge loss (and I still think it is), but maybe for him it's just a small thing. And I think these are just very common with rich people, because this is their way of having fun and entertaining themselves. And Drake is just one of the many public figures who loves gambling, and for sure that wasn't the highest bet and loss that a celebrity had.

I wonder how his endorsement deal with Stake works. Their brand is all over his Instagram, where he has over 143 million followers. Every time he posts a bet slip it gets noticed by major publications. The reason why Drake's Curse is even a thing is because of the enormous publicity he receives. It wouldn't be unreasonable to assume he is making as much money as some of the highest paid athletes in the world. Betting a few hundred thousand is probably nothing to him. What he earns from the endorsement is more than enough to cover his losses.

I don't see reason to feel sorry for him, he is a big man and I bet that amount is something he can afford to lose so why the sorry? There are past bets where he won, isn't it? So it's expected to lose in gambling, and I like this sport because you can easily predict who the winner will be, but you ain't going to be lucky all the time, this is also why placing bets with what you can afford to lose is important, let's just think for a sec if Drake uses 80% of his whole net worth to place this bet because he was so sure that his man will win and he lost, that means he is going broke.

Gambling should be placed with sense, even if you are so sure what the result would be there is a small chance that you will be wrong, are you willing to put all your money at risk on such a thing? Things won't always go the way we want it that's why you need to calculate on both sides, everything that looks like a good advantage always has a disadvantage too.

OP I think you should erase the Curse thing off this topic, I thought it was something more serious but this rapper isn't cursed in any way, some gamblers on here have lost rounds of the game more than Drake though the money might not be as huge as what drake used to place a bet but losing in gambling isn't curse, it is the way gambling is, losing is normal when you gamble.

We are no stranger to Drake and his gambling, it's no surprise that he was able to lose something we didn't expect. maybe for us, or say it is me, in that amount I can do a lot with my wishes outside of gambling. the amount of money he lost, was fantastic for me personally. well, the case is different for him. This person has abundant wealth, for him this defeat may be a normal problem and just an unpleasant day for him. however, it will not have a major impact on his financial condition. after all, this is gambling and its risks, even though we have involved it with the knowledge we have with statistics and available data. but in fact, he fully understood what he had risked.

On the other hand, suppose I were as rich as he is. perhaps, for me losing the money wagered in the bet that is the theme of this thread, is not so much of a problem. after all, he lost something with what he could afford. In fact, I'm not that familiar with boxing sports betting. However, that doesn't mean I don't like watching this type of sport. I will apply it to another type of sports betting, namely football. In football, a team that is strong, tough and sturdy, there is no guarantee that they will always win every match they play. which means, sometimes we lose in our bets, even though we have chosen the right team. and this is gambling, there is no 100% guarantee that we will win.  In fact, we are well aware of it.

He lost, that's the truth. But that big money is nothing to Drake. He will likely place a bet on another match. I don't know whether he has become a gambler who has lost control of himself or simply doesn't care if his money is lost at the gambling table.

But that is a lot of money. Maybe he could get it quickly so it wouldn't be noticeable to him if the money were lost in gambling. Maybe he was having fun with a lot of money to relieve his stress at work or whatever.

What is clear is that we have experienced losses but not as big as Drake. And we must prevent large losses.

He is very popular and wealthy, which makes it easy for him to attract people with his updates. If he were to promote a gambling site, which I believe he is, people might follow him in gambling on the same site. I'm not sure if the amount he lost is real or if he's just trying to promote a gambling site in that way. But as long as it's less than a million, I think it's quite reasonable, given his millions in net worth. I think he bets on various sports because I know he also wagers on NBA games, not only betting but also attending games courtside during playoffs.

It happens to all of us and Drake is such a rich guy that I don't really feel bad for him losing such large amounts. It's cool that he shares his betting slips online with his fans, but this could also be a marketing campaign for him. We don't know what kind of deal he has negotiated and maybe some of his losses are being paid back by the gambling companies. The good thing about sharing his betting slips before the fight is that we know it's not rigged. Drake lost already a lot of money through his betting, but if you put the money in relation to his total net worth then it not so much. Everybody shoudl be betting within his own means and only use the money he can afford to lose. I just hope that there aren't any young kids that follow Drake and think now it's cool to bet such large amounts on a fight and want to do the same. It's clearly fun and entertainment for Drake betting on these matches and he isn't doing gambling as a side business to make some money. 

Ouch, how do you even explain to your friends that you  lost a bet but your pick was the right one  :'(

Actually this loss is proof of how far greed can go and has nothing to do with the curse, had drake gone with match winner he would have gotten back that 850k with lower profits but wanted to get more money on this, better luck next time Drake.

Wait a second, are you saying this match was rigged and all that choking and stuff was planned all along ??

AFAIK if a boxer has discipline issues, such off course behaviour is expected and that is what happened and got DQed

Now, the big question is this.... Is Drake being funded by Stake.com to make these huge bets, because he is an affiliate and a brand ambassador for Stake.com.  ???

The same thing apply to his occasional gambling streams, where he gives away tons of money. It is one thing using your own money, but paid streamers are playing with casino money.

Will we ever know what happens behind closed doors.... right.  :P

I’m sure Drake is compensated by Stake. I don’t think that is really a question. Drake probably just bets the money they pay him. Even if he loses he gets a decent rake and I’m guessing he gets a % of users that sign up clicking his name or during certain periods when he’s got Stake in the news. I feel like when it comes to Drake the real money for him would be in the referrals.

I have no proof that it is although I've read some speculations but it's safe to say that matches like these are more prone to rigging. It doesn't have to take all parties to be involved - one "boxer" causing such scene is enough to turn the fight into a no contest or ending by disqualification. Those professionals that trained hard before they could step in the boxing ring are less likely to be involved in such schemes unlike the guy who attempted to choke.

I think he was also very frustrated with losing on this bet, even though it was quite small if we measure it in terms of the amount of his wealth, he was still unlucky in every bet he made. But despite this Drake really made a pretty big bet if we look at it. but for him perhaps this is just a small bet in which he will be prepared to lose money without any deep worries.

Sometimes we see top celebrity people betting quite big and it's quite normal because they have a bigger income. But still, Gambling is of course accompanied by luck and maybe Drake is not lucky in betting this time but he always gets lots of big wins when he plays slot gambling.

Naturally people who place such big bets on their personal accounts never put such bets out for the world to see, but with Drake it's different and being the brand ambassador  this puts stake name on the gambling map and also shows the world they are able to handle big bets without a problem which is also  Drake doing his job as a marketing and sales personnel !

Am pretty sure his playing on the companies account as he has other ways Stake pays for his patronage... probably his cut is based on commissions and all new members he onboards to Stake.

$850,000 is surely big for almost of people in this world, but such amount is just like a month for Drake to earn. So even he lose that, he can get it after working for next month, it's not really affecting him.

Even he's not publicized if he's a Stake's brand ambassador or affiliator, there's a chance if he get funded by Stake when it comes to sharing the casino where he bet.

I think you have a valid idea there. For instance, celebrities affiliated to wine companies get free supplies for advertisement purpose. But, from the look of things, Drake gambles often and doesn't win often. Which resulted to the drake curse. Any team he support doesn't win. Do you think stake is getting their funds back from his losses and milk the publicity to their own personal advantage. A lot of drake fans, can easily switch to stake casino for their gambling activities. Most celebrities that doesn't promote online gambling, mainly gamble offline. Also, they don't flaunt their gambling lifestyle. Drake shares screenshots across his social media platforms, which is doing his work as an ambassador of stake casino. He is yielding the casino lots of profits and may be given the privilege to receive additional funds for gambling. It is certain, money spent on streams is sponsored by the casino for promotional purposes. I know celebrities for gambling indoors with other celebrities. Mostly card games. Although, from his deal, he may be restricted from using other online casinos, that's why we may not have seen him staking on other online casino aside stake. But, since, he is making fame too from his huge wagers, Stake may not sponsor all the money. They could pay for some percentage, while drake completes it with his own money. Probably, what the casino pays him as a brand ambassador.


He wagers on other sports on Stake casino. That's what matters. It's been a long term deal, and the both parties must have built some rapports. They work together to receive the best results. Stake is getting what they're paying for, and it's drake's duty to give them the best publicity. The argument can be, whether he uses his earnings from stake to play games or stake provides additional funds for his gambling activities. If he is playing his music money, I don't think he'll wager often times huge amounts like that. The real money comes from stake; endorsement money and commissions. Stake offers good commission to advertisers and Drake could be getting some of it for the people playing because of him. But, I'm not sure how they track the traffic he's pulling to stake casino.

In my opinion, for Drake losing with that much money wouldn't be a problem. However, this is part of gambling, it doesn't matter if he loses or wins because from the start I'm sure Drake already knew the risks. No matter how confident you are in betting, the fact is that unexpected events will occur. After this we will see Drake bet again with an even bigger amount. In conclusion, there was no reason for Drake to regret this, after all he already had collateral behind this bet.

If I had to guess, I would say it is a mix of his own money but also money being put on the table by the casino itself. Not idea about the percentage of each side though. As far as I have read, it is a relatively common practice among casino embassadors to get some money by the casino, so they can make their events more attractive, more wager, more giveaways, to attract more viewers and that usually translate to more people signing up to the promoted casino.

Obviously we won't ever know the details, since there must be some disclosure clause in the contract about all of that. I would take to ask someone who has been an embassador of some gambling website and is willing to talk about it.

How is this terrible? Are you talking about the money he lost or you are talking about why he lost when he choose the right man? That is it I guess, even if you place bet on the most active team players or champions someone will always defeat them when you don't expect it, that is what happened to Drake and this isn't anything related to been Cursed.

I believe he is ready to lose that amount of money but damn it's a lot for majority of people, this should stand as a warning for those who place bet thinking the outcome will favor them because they bet on the best, it still doesn't matter because anything can happen.

I give him some salute though, because even after he was so sure of the outcome he still use what he can afford to lose, if this is some gambler they will go extra miles to make life changing money, thinking this is the best opportunity they will ever get in life, some would have sold their house to place the bet.

Gambling will always be gambling, even if a spiritual being give you a sure prediction of what will happen never should you place all you have on the bet because it's still high risk since it's gambling.

I’m not even sure if his supposed betslips are genuine. He has a partnership with Stake, that’s obvious. Do we really think he’s making these large bets or are Stake just giving him them to post and paying him to do it.

I run a successful ladies clothing store online, we have had many public figures make instagram posts wearing our line. They didn’t pay for any of the clothing, we paid them to model it. I believe Stake do something similar with Drake. There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s the modern day version of advertising, paid promotions.

Personally, I don’t believe Drake makes these bets with his own money.

Edit - Just spotted this in the earlier replies -


Exactly my thoughts on it, mate.

Money laundering in its best :D Has Drake even won one single bet he has made on Stake? Or he just looses every single bet in big events? Even though there are logic in his bets, he somehow looses. Could it be that the events are fixed so that casino would win his bet? :D There is so much to speculate on Drake. I bet this topic gonna be pumped with comments like a balloon.

My two cents. Even if he is sponsored with stake, uses it as a laundry or whatever truth is, rich people have different mind sets. They can afford to lose that. Even if he has gambled with own money, how much he has lost? Less than 1% of his funds? That is nothing for him. He does not make this bets every day.

To be honest I don't really care whether he get sponsored by Stake or not because it's a part of marketing strategy. Other casinos even do "more" than Stake, they don't mind to lying as long as they can attract people to gamble. Like showing if there's no lose in their casino and when you suffer lose, it means you need to deposit more money etc.

Yes, there's ;D

I'd love to know if you pay the influencers their complete ad money after giving them clothes. Similarly it could be what Drake and stake is working on. Personally, I knew drake as a gambler when he wagered a million dollar on stake casino. Then, later I found he's their ambassador. Many people knew drake as a gambler through stake and vice versa. The casino can easily fund his account, and he won't withdraw the funds even if he wins. As he losses, no problem. I've not seen screenshots of his, signifying a successful withdrawal. It can be fabricated. But, nothing of such have appeared on his page, while I was following him on Instagram. The complications to the truth here is, drake is a successful musician. He can fund the money. So, they should be a benefit of doubt, regarding who funds him. Stake has the money to do that as well. Otherwise, on a marketing perspective stake is doing what you did with Influencers. You can't advertise on your page what you don't use, and expect massive leads. Rick Ross for instance, always goes along with belaire rose drink almost in all his photos and videos. Such marketing technique helps to memorize the product on the brain of his fans. Have you thought of trying out a single influencer with huge following, doing same thing for your clothing store? Instead of moving from one influencer to another. I tried this with two twitter influencers, the generated lead was average because it was just a month marketing campaign. Going with one big influencer for a long time, definitely builds relationship between the product and their followers. The followers will love what the influencer promotes and would love to wear the kind of clothe they're putting on. Even coke take promotional photos meant for advertisement. By having a celebrity hold a bottle of coke in the photo, then share on his or her social media page.

Drake is a global influencer who happens to be influencing for Stake and I think he receives some certain compensation from the loses he does include in those big stakes that most times worths millions of dollars.
Again, the fact that we only get to see receipts of his losses doesn't mean that he's always losing all his stakes. Probably they don't make public the ones he does win and that's the work of most influencers.

Those of use that are not yet privilege to that height would always question why the rich and wealthy spend money the way they do!

But the bitter truth is that we would spend more of what they are spending if we're to be in their position. They have the money entering on all sides from one endorsement to another and all they are burdened with is how and where to spend those money on.

For a gambler like Drake he has many good investments in place yielding steady returns for him so therefore spending $0.85million of his networth can be said to be nothing to him it's possible as we speak now that amount has been refilled by one of his many endorsement deals.

I believe Drake can be funded by Stake.com for being a top affiliate maybe some of the money has been compensated or all of it is possible.

Drake using his own money is very reasonable because he has great wealth but my view leads to stake.com behind all Drake bets, including maybe other streamers who are paid so behind all that there is casino money at play and their personal money is not disturbed maybe my guess is right behind their back door. ;D

Drake can easily make that money through his endorsements so obviously, what he lose is just a small amount compared to his overall earnings. And I don’t think he never seen it coming before taking that decision, but since gambling is very unpredictable, his expectation at times might also gone the wrong way instead. But yes, if we are on his foot, we would have used that money to save and invest instead, than to shoot it all to gambling.

Why are you making this look like a big loss for someone who is making millions of dollars every month? Drake is an ambassador for Stake Casino isn't it? So he will always make money for himself and the platform he is promoting, you just don't get how big this mans pocket is that's why you believe he is somehow cursed for losing, I lost some money to gambling yesterday,  am I supposed to be cursed because I lost too? Don't ever fool yourself, losing is the most accurate result you or anyone can get in gambling, wins comes once in a while.

I have also read somewhere online how lucky this man is with gambling, it's more like a market strategy for big online casino like Stake.com, so I don't care much about him losing, everyone and anyone can lose to gambling, and that doesn't mean we should copy their steps too because this man has the money to risk, a small win for him is a big win honestly.

How about in a month or two this man makes all he lost back? He has the skills and gambling isn't the best way he is making some cool source of income, I think you should do some research about Drakes achievements so far, it's no joke man, he is worth over 200 million right now.

Gambling requires courage. Even when correct, you might be mistaken in this cruel world. Drake's latest loss illustrates that. Though he chose the appropriate fighter, did he fully grasp the fight? Did he anticipate fights' wild and unpredictable turns? In stressful situations like conflicts, people are unpredictable and volatile.

Given Drake's background and "The Drake's Curse" storyline, the pattern must be closely examined. Is he underanalyzing his bets? Is it just a series of coincidences that form this 'curse'? For gambling veterans, its a typical example of the need to comprehend the game, its complex behaviors, and its outcomes. Repeatingly losing such large bets indicates more than bad luck. It raises concerns, requires introspection, and emphasizes gambling's risks.

That is what happens when you try increasing your final odds on the bet by adding details to how the prediction must happen. It's not enough to predict the winner anymore, you have to predict the sequence the game is going to happen in details. Even aware about this, he took the risks, made a huge bet and lost... That is part of gambling and it must not be a big issue for a man who is profiting from the industry in another ways that go beyond profiting from his own bets. For Drake, it's part of the game to place high bets, so he get recognization and popularity at the trend topics of internet.

That's a good question, he's not betting on any casino only on Stake.com, there's a possibility that he is getting his earnings from his referrals since he is an influencer and may have other big bettors under his name, but Drake makes Stake looks good with his winning and losing because he shows that he can withdraw his earnings right away.

And going back to Drake it's not actually a curse this happens to all gamblers and Drake is no exception, the amount is only peanut he is a multi-millionaire and he is an active artist so he still makes a lot from his concerts and royalty, he can do whatever he wants to do with his money.

As a gambler I would say that you must always check and verify any information provided related a bet/odd.
 Of course in this case there is a combo bet and no It wasn't enough bet on the right player...

I find more curious to see these high stakes bets ::) probably for him these are Just nuts but It something not common in any case also because he Is betting in a "friendly" match.

I would certainly not go as far as detailing how the match is supposed to go, I am not that tolerant to risk. If I wanted to bet on a match, I would be enough for me just to try to predict the final outcome, (winner, loser or tie).
I would only picture someone going as far as being that specific if they were professional bettors of some kind. The kind of person who had many years of experience and had analized teams for the longest time.

Otherwise, it is just a shot in the darkness. ???

Not as bad as this is just a statement that qualifies value based on what is lost instead of what it’s worth to the individual gambler.
Drakes  gambling habit is a common gist on the web and having to lose on the right man as stated isn’t exactly what it is. He gambled against a different market to benefits from the leveraged odds and as such, lost.

I wouldn’t think about it very much as this doesn’t mean a lot to the rapper, just a show and his back on track, ready yo gamble yet again. Drake is keeping the gambling spirit alive for most users and has become a sensation for most. Big wins and big loses, the Drake’s course.

I think it was a technical knockout IIRC, so Drake could have still won that bet even though Dillon is disqualified. I don't know the ruling of the individual sports books, though. Nevertheless, Drake really is a high-roller with the right picks most of the time, and he's qualified to all of these decisions given how much money he has on his person. Win or lose, he can still bear the outcome of any bet he makes, and IMO that's more important especially if you're betting huge amounts like this.

Rich people have a different mindset. Also, you don't know how much he's making by making his bets public. Casinos sponsor him and it's not uncommon for them to return some of the losses to their promoters.
Drake was greedy. He could bet for the winner and get less money, but he wanted more, so he added that "by knockout" option to lower the odds and increase the win amount.
Greed often doesn't pay.
AI also wouldn't spend money as carelessly as he is, but on the other hand, you only live once ;)

The result us disqualified since he choke Paul. This is not any for of knock out result since since Dillon is not knock out. It’s more on decision rather than knock out result since Dillon choke result to penalty which disqualified him. This is an exhibition match which means there’s no really official call on this result aside from DQ but I believe those who beg on decision result won this fight but not really sure depending on casino ToS about DQ.

He has always been taking such risks. As far as I remember, he also had a bet on Logan before and lost about $450k but it has been a long time since then, and this is the second time I'm hearing about his betting on Logan and losing again but this time he lost even though Logan won, just in a different way than he had predicted which is unfortunate, of course. Drake was also a strategic or betting partner of Stake when I checked last time, I'm not sure if that is still the case or not but if it is, then I'm pretty sure he earns some good money from there as well.

He is a millionaire, so he probably wouldn't worry much about this loss and he might even recover the losses in the next few bets because you won't just keep losing in sports betting as long as you have some knowledge and experience because that is basically what matters the most in sports betting and luck has a small influence.

I have nothing to say because I don't have that much money and don't have the balls to bet with that amount and regardless of the result, I'd still be that rich. Drake is known for that and yeah, he became a content for many influencers and we didn't know if that money just came from his sponsor which is known to most of us as he's a brand ambassador as well. He makes money out of these bets and having that attention from the world is raking him such contracts and money probably more than those bets. So whether he lost that bet or he'll lose again with the next bet that he'll be interested in, it won't be painful to him anymore. Sponsors, royalties from his music, so as I've said I've got nothing to say.
Now, I've got to say that he's living a life and at least that he can repeat that what he does while us, we're just putting him in the midst of our discussions while we'll probably never do it even once in our lifetimes.

I think "Rapper Drake" probably has more than enough money if he is gambling with such amounts. Terrible? Not really. Entertaining? Kind of. Considering the kind of wealth we are looking at, here, I am not all too inclined to feel sad for Mr. Rich Rapper guy. He knows, just like anyone else that gambling brings with it certain risks. I doubt there exists an adult living in the modern world who does not understand the risks and negatives of gambling.

At the end of the day, he will go home with his horde of money sitting in the bank or in investments still almost just as enormous as the day before...

Drake’s curse? Not sure about that. I wouldn’t see this loss or even his total losses as a curse.
He losses his bets sometimes just like any other person who gambles. Perhaps what would seem remarkable in this case is the amount of money he uses to play. I think it’s pretty obvious to everyone that the higher the bet, the higher the amount to be won. Drake, having a considerably high net worth, is a high stake gambler and he knows the risks involved. This isn’t his first rodeo.

I don’t have much to say about this loss. He probably wouldn’t lose any sleep over this loss so why should anyone?
Amongst his other wins, he had won 2.7 million when he had bet on Israel Adesanya. There is no Drakes Curse.

Drake is not cursed. We are like Drake only that the amount we use for betting is smaller compared to the millions of Dollars that he uses  for bets. We shouldn't act all righteous and judge Drake for his actions. We may even have more losses then him but his is being  reported all over the internet because he's a public figure. This is what gambling is about- winning and losing.

Drake isn't reckless or irresponsible. We don't see him betting all the games ever other weekend.

Just a typical loss that everyone is really that experiencing specially we are doing betting in the first place. I dont really believe on any gambling curse or whatsoever because results could really ae just simply be
just win or lose. Lots of factors that could really affect out the outcome on which its never been something new that there are near winning situation ends up on losing still because of that last minute or second kind of
happening on which you dont really expect. These are things that could happen in gambling on spot and this is not different on what happened on Drakes bet on here on which he had been expecting some KO
on here but ending up on winning but on different manner on which causes for his bet to lose. Did someone expect that? If its fixed then there's no way on proving it out.

Drake had surely moved on and just like with his other losing big bets then it would really be just like an ordinary day for him,nothing special.It is really just that people do really
make out those kind of reactions and telling its a curse. Its his money and its his risks taking about whether losing or winning. Gambling is really just like this
on which you do win some or lose some.

Well, Drake has the means to satisfy his gambling urges. While he may have the money to do so, it still sucks to see a person losing this amount of money due to reasons beyond his control. While he may have betted on the right person, the situation got out of control which made his fighter disqualified in the end.

Even if we may argue that Drake is rich, still, that kind of amount would be a life changer to anyone. Though this may be the case, he is still rich as he is one of the ambassadors of Stake, which is considered one of the most popular gambling website as of this date.

I just hope that this "curse" gets removed or converts to something in a positive manner.

Wrong, he was DQ because of his acts.

But I don't think this is curse as what the majority says, and who curse Drake then? Lol. It was just a bad and unlucky bet, that's it. Just like the rest of us here, sometimes we think that he put a good bet and the chances to win are high.

However, we really don't know what will be the outcome and that's why we take that big risk. In this case, he lost, simply as that. People are just making a big buzz out of it since it was Drake and the amount is huge. But there could be other whales too that lost millions in this fight, but we will not heard from them or call it as a curse.

Drake is a stake ambassador, the fight was sponsored by stake.
No matter win or lose this bet, do you really think this was a bet he decided to make?

I think this was just a promotional bet stake initiated to used his reach to millions of fans.
Before stake he rarely posted bets like this, but once the partnership with stake was public it happens all the time. I don't think that's a coincidence.

It's just promo, you can't take this serious!

I've experienced losing on this kind of bet, but not to the extent of the amount he lost. I don't find it surprising, though, as there are certainly bigger bets made on these particular games. Sometimes, we fall short in our predictions. We might be confident that a certain boxer will win, but we underestimate their opponent's strength. That's the nature of gambling; it's essentially a guessing game.

Most of my bets are probably on basketball, and similar to this, I often deal with spreads. For instance, when I bet on the favorite with a -9.5 spread, and they only win by 9 points, it can be quite frustrating. But as gamblers, we have to move on because we can't let our emotions derail our game plan.

1.Logan Paul and Dillon Danis are well known crypto NFT scammers(and shitcoin pump and dump scammers). Does anyone really expect two scammers to have a fair fight? I think that this "choking scene" was made up in order for Danis to be disqualified and many people to lose their bets.
2.Drake is a millionaire. Does anyone feel sorry about a millionaire losing 850K USD on gambling? What's wrong with you people?
What about giving those 850K USD for charity, instead of wasting them on a probably rigged fight between two crypto scammers?

For sure that it is since they want to make people curious and discuss about what really happened there. Then now they are successful since they are now been talk my many people and that gather a lot of exposure to their casino that's why we shouldn't take the bets made by those influential people especially if there's casino involve in the picture since promotion will be their main intention and nothing else more than that. People need to be calm and ignore those winning or losses Drake made since at the end of the day he earn a lot of money to the promotion done for the casino he works with.

Now that they read peoples opinion regarding to this for sure with this they can think about other important thing that need to watch for rather than believing on those casino ambassadors.

Nah, I don't feel sorry for Drake, that's a cheap amount for him and I doubt that's all on him, it could be a group betting for one boxer. I didn't even know that he was going for this type of bet, the entertainers in boxing. I thought he was a fan of real combat sports because there was a time I saw him put a high amount for Adesanya and he won a big amount on that.

I believe in Sir Charles Barkey's curse, but I don't think Drake has it either. Boxing entertainers could sometimes twist the plot so it can become more exciting for the fans just like what they do in WWE. Making a spark on social media for a chance to be on the trend will definitely make them more money in case they meet again or they will be fighting another fighter who will enter the trend.

Apparently, Drake has been winning a huge amount and losing a lot from the different platforms in gambling, but mostly from sports betting. So I don’t agree that he has been cursed to lose millions as he also won quite a huge amount from its past gambling activities. Of course, as a high profile bettor, expect that if you lose you will really lost millions of money, and the moment you win, the amount will also be exceedingly large.

However, what Drake had experienced is just one proof that no matter how skilled and experienced you are when betting, when it comes to gambling the result will always be uncertain and unpredictable. That is why never risk an amount that you might find yourself regretting in the future. Maybe today Drake won’t realized the amount he has lost but once his career will struggle and the demand for him might lessen, that’s the time that he will realized that he is wasting such a vast amount in gambling, wishing he could have invested the amount instead.

If they want to participate in betting just for fun, they can do so because we do not aim to make any profit and only want to follow what they do. And yes, people don't need to think about what Drake made because as a man with a lot of money, he could have spent much of his money placing those bets. We also don't know if the money came from the casino where he worked or if it was his own money so we didn't think too much into it. We also don't know if Drake did it for real or if it was just part of a scenario they did so people thought it was real.

Yes, the story we are not sure about, how true our predictions can be about Drake's gambling money. If he was funded by the casino or used his private funds. Although with what is on the floor, marketing has become very tricky. And people are getting used to different marketing techniques. Such that when they find one, they won't hesitate to point it out. As a brand ambassador of Stake, most of his moves would be questioned by fans and the gambling public. One, the wagered money can serve as a jackpot to many gamblers. Hence, it gets us intrigued, and we may not accept the fact that drake used his funds to play it. Because it looks so big in the eyes of gamblers. Yet we may not concern ourselves if the money is quite not huge in the eyes of drake. He's been doing this time to time. Aside the publicity he's getting from his huge money gambling. He's never complained about anything or answered any question whether the company is giving him the money to gamble. I've seen gambling influencers, using fabricated slips to deceive followers into believing they made in profits, or wagered such an amount. So big that people will see them as rich gamblers. As a Drake fan, I don't think he is posting fake screenshots. So, if the money is revolving between Stake and Drake, it's beyond our understanding to point out what's happening behind the scene. What gets us questioning is, that feeling of getting bordered when losing in betting. Often times, he's not gone public to show his bitterness of losing such an amount. As it should bother him at least. But, since, he is being covered by Stake's money in most extent. It may not be a torn in his flesh. No one can tell how long the deal would last. Until, then we can determine what was actually going on during his stay with Stake. Whether he'll continue playing with such an amount or not.

Drake didn't start his betting hugely on boxing fights today. I have known him to be someone who likes betting on his favorite boxer to win. At times he falls into being lucky to win, and at times he loses together.

This should be the highest bet I have heard of him betting so far and lost to it. I don't know whether he would learn how to minimize staking this big on gambling. I know he can get more than the money lost on gambling bets back by going on a music tour or releasing an album but he should minimize his betting with big amount habits a little.

To me, this is no longer a fun bet no matter how we view it to be(he having the money)

We don't need to think that Drake uses his own funds to bet big money. Moreover, we also know that Drake has a lot of money. So even though he bet big money, he still has a lot of money to use for various things. And even if Stake funds his gambling budget, that's also good for Drake because he can help promote Stake to many people. And from that match, people will know that Drake uses a lot of money to bet.

I don't think Drake complained about his loss or showed it to the public. Also, Drake doesn't feel anything about his loss, so we don't know how he really feels.

almost all the users here know who Drake is and how much he is worth and maybe everything has been discussed here and I just want to say a few opinions or maybe someone has already answered it but the most important thing here is whether he got the loss from his own money or was funded by any platform that the most important thing is that he does not lose all his wealth because the amount of money he currently has is very large and everything has been explained by several people here and yes he will not feel sorry because he is one the whale gamblers and I admire him.

That's huge from my own view. That Money will make me the next billionaire in Nigeria because I already have written down problems to solve.

Like someone said ,it's Gambling, two things are to be expected, either you get a win or the casinos get a win from your stake.
That's a little penny for him though, he won't feel or see that as a loss. I won't consider someone else's failure in betting as curse. That would be too traditional. He's just being unlucky.
All of these are also means to advertise about the casinos too. He's got a good strategy to trend. LoL.

I get sickend seeing Drake always betting so much money on all these big fights/games.  Now don't get me wrong he earned that money and he deserves it...but I can't help but think that he probably doesn't donate all that much to charity each year and that doesn't sit right with me (maybe I'm wrong and hope that I am).

Not a big fan of Drake period.  There's a sub-reddit that's pretty funny called "DrakeTheType" which is all about ripping on him.  I highly suggest checking it out.

That said, wish I had the money to make bets like he does!

They do it for their safety which includes the following: they are afraid to get robbed, protects them from beggars, and lastly protects their reputation. Drake took a big risk there because his career might have been affected. He is one of the artist that until now known. That alone can earn him sufficient amounts already. Oh well, maybe greed is what leads him of accepting the offer.

@OP don't worry about him because he himself wouldn't care about it. We can just see it as a normal happening in the gambling world. There are people who are really suck at predicting things, and I don't think they are dumb enough to continue if their losses are already huge, but unless maybe if addiction already hits them.

It's still about how we see celebrities, according to Brucelee, they're humans and feel things too. And we may not know about how he manages his wealth. One thing I know of Drake is that he's doing great in music. Has top notch tracks in billboard. But his personal life is his problem. Where he grew, the relationship he had there and all, can make him do bad mistakes too. Remember he's human. He works hard just like any other person. The real story about it, I don't expect it to be all comedy. Drake is also losing to Stake. Unless stake agrees on giving him unlimited wager, which is impossible. The amount agreed to be his funds for gambling. May not be enough to satisfy Drake. Therefore, he'll still have some low key bets he places on Stake, with his funds. And only posts the one sponsored by Stake. To promote Stake. And most of the times, he loses on that too. Hence, he only gets his endorsement money in full. Other allowances can fluctuate according to the outcome of the game. Like I said, don't know his level of gambling habit. As it could be a determinant of what I said. One way he spends a lot and the other side he also earns a lot. He also works on how to save a lot. He'll definite not wager so much, because he has lots of money. But most times I used to see it as Drake's gambling moment. Whenever he posts a gambling slip on his page, isn't the only time he gambled. He may be participating in some low key gambling activities with visitors and close friends. It's what gives them joy. In a nutshell, It's possible he's making adjustments and also mainly posts bets sponsored by Stake. As an ambassador.

I would like to add something.
If part of the Drake's curse is to become a celebrity and getting sponsorships from the biggest crypto casino in the market, then I would not mind to have a curse like that.  ;)

I would not even mind if my luck starts to eat away when comes to gambling and sportbetting, as long as the sponsor keep coming and continue to get contracts within the industry.
What about you? Would you like to be cursed like Drake, who can burn millions of dollars and not even flinch about it?

Even if half the money comes for the casino as sponsor, I would sleep tight at night with such "bad luck"  :P

So it wouldn't be a problem for us if we didn't know anything about the money used by Drake. We also don't know how much money Drake uses. Even if he is financed or uses his own money, that's okay and he wants to entertain us by showing us the amount of money so that we can be interested in watching the match and maybe we will also bet on the same match. He also still has more money, we don't know how much, and it seems he will continue to provide excitement for his fans and us.

Drake has gained many things and wealth and can promote things well. That was why he could bet a lot of money, and whatever the outcome, he didn't seem sad at all. Maybe he already knows that that is the risk in gambling and he continues to gamble. And if he loses, he can accept it regardless of whether he uses money from sponsors or his own money. But if someone could think that spending that much money was not worth it, even if he were a rich man, he would not do it. So we also need to find out whether it was his personal money or money from sponsors and we can only guess.

Not a bad loss, it's gambling after all. You win some, you lose some that's just how gambling works. If he happens to win his bet would that be terrible?
IMO, most gamblers has poor gambling records though. I bet most of us has lost more money than we win.
I could only say that it's a terrible loss if someone has to take a loan just to place a bet and lost it eventually, that is a prime example of a terrible loss. But as for Drake, $850k isn't a big deal as he owns a lot of money. If I'm as wealthy as Drake I could've done the same thing, bet on the most risky but high reward odds since money doesn't bother me at all so why not maximize the profitability chances.

His was more or less very right as it was the best pick and by all indications, Logan would have won but sadly it turned out the way it dis, every day isn't a good day normally, drake has aswell won much from the casinos before now so it's very possible this could be one of his profits he made from the casino some time ago and he has got the means such that it wouldn't be any big deal to him he lost that amount to the casino.

He is worth much more than that and would probably recover that money soonest on another bet which he will place in the nearest future, as he has got the stats and all he needs to facilitate the accuracy of his bet. Do not gamble like him, always remember to stake what you can comfortably afford to loose, they which he staked by all indications is what he can afford to loose, so have that at the back of your mind before you make large stakes.

Well that is what makes it gambling anyway because if it becomes undoubtedly sure for Logan to win and he ends up winning it then means there be no essence to gamble on the game any more since we already know the winner even before the game begins,  but since gambling is an unpredictable event,  it doesn't make any difference whether or not Logan is a sure bet in the eyes of Drake or any other gamblers but then also we have to be aware that there is never a sure bet in gambling.

And the final outcome of the games is what determines the winners regardless of whether or not both fighters have a good record of past winnings

There are not a lot of successful gamblers who consistent make profit and everybody who gambles will have losses and wins. Drake, with his crazy high bets, just gets a lot of attention from everybody and everyone has his opinion. To be honest, a lot of his recent high bets were all a loss though, so I wouldn't follow Drake his bets lol.

When you're earning someone's retirement funds every weekend you're bound to be a little belligerent when you're gambling, and in his case it's not like the money's ever going to stop cause one way or another people will listen to his songs and albums again and again, and he's too big to fail in the industry he's in too so he's not scared of anything at all. But that doesn't make his gambling addiction problem any less scary. But yeah the Drake's Curse, he's been like that ever since lol Paddy was a really strong fighter back then but when he started betting on the man he started losing drive and popularity. Basically, take Drake's bets at face value and always bet on whoever he's not betting lol.

That must be some curse if the recipient keeps on living the good life while making even more money. Is there a waiting list somewhere? Sign me up for some of Drakes sweet sweet curse. haha
Asides his endorsement deal, he still has enough money of his own to do whatever he pleases and can still afford not to lose any sleep over it if/when he losses any of his high stake bets.

Perhaps, the curse doesn’t allow one who’s cursed ever run out of money irrespective of how much is spent and lost in high stake bets.

Or better yet, Drake can afford those high losses, so we should not follow his footsteps.  ;D
With his stake collab, I guess, he's also paid handsome amount of money.
And such loss, is no big deal for him. He can easily gets it back.
But for ordinary people like us, that's already like retirement savings or lifetime's savings, not even close.

Nothing much to say than he should take heart and embrace his fate, this is not his first time of loosing neither of winning big, we also have a number of the other celebrities also who are fanatic gamblers like Michael Jordan, 50cent and many more, when they loose huge amount of money, i don't think it really pains them as we thought because they were already used to it and have enough to recover from because this are lifetime gamblers not minding taking the highest order risk while gambling.

Not shocking or surprising that people would really be always that focusing that much on the cons and not on the positive side. What if the bet did end up on a win? For sure people would really just simply just say "okay" and simply move on on which it would really be totally different on the time that we do see the opposite things like losing up a particular bet specially on a significant amount.
Its not a curse but rather it is really just that a simple system that on how gambling works, it is really just that people do really give out that kind of emphasis on the time that they would be losing such bet.If we are just simply talking with some random gambler then it wont really be taking so much attention unlike if we do speak about celebrities which are really that known or
really that popular. We arent really that blind on how Drake make out bets on which it is really just that everytime this dude make out bets then it is really that being showing
those tons of zeroes on each bet which it turns out to be that his standard or simply shows that on how heavy gambler he is.

Though, I must admit that knowing myself. Even if I was in a position like Drake's, causing a sudden change in my life. I would still feel bad for wagering and losing so much money. It would take me months to get used to it, because as a new rich, I would still be aware of the magnitude of the money I would be losing and the amounts good things which could have been done with it.   :(

That is why there are so many differences between the average millionaires and those who become millionaires because of winning the lottery or some inheritance.
One is more humble if one knows where money comes from.

Anyways, whether he is cursed or not. Let us see if Drake can eventually get some bets right and surprise us with some sweet wins.

Apart from Drake making money from his music,  he os also an ambassador with a notable casino and also I big roller and have hard several records of winning in the past and as we all know that gambling is filled with ups and downs so Drake will still be fine,  and possibility are that he may have recovered that loses from his subsequent games that may not be mentioned to the public,  why this loses made so much news is because he lost the bet and with higher amount staked with then et and what lead to that is the confident that he had in his selected fighter.

If not,  ordinarily he may not have lost that amount if it is that he never trusted the fighter to win the fight,  but then also,  this is gambling,  one needs to be smart enough to make the right choice at all times and not rely so much on previous performances to the point of staking an unbearably high amount.

There is not much of a point to worry about Drake, while the amount he lost will be a disaster for us, for him this is not really too much of a problem, and he can probably earn that money back by featuring in an ad or by taking advantage of some other opportunity that may come to him, still the rest of gamblers out there should do well to not imitate his example, because if they tried there is no doubt they could sustain some heavy losses, which will be way more difficult for them to bounce back from.

Yeah,  the big celebs have a lot of cash to throw around and they are not at the level at which we are right now I can only imagine how much I will be willing to stake when I make so much money as the world's richest,  I believe money and fortune comes to those who are destined for it,  and I am one of those few who are selected Drake may have done what ks out of the ordinary right now, but believe you me others also who are none celeb le celeb are doing similar huge stakes.

You know when it comes to gambling,  the amount you stake is in the proportion of four financial values and stands,  this is why quite several times we have seen how some of those celebrities fall into this kind of trap of not having the practice of limit control no matter the amount of cash at your disposal

do remember that drake is also stake's ambassador. so the reason why he's also posting those big bets and at the same time promoting the site. we don't know the arrangements with stake but high likely that they are in the win-win situation here. and such amount is no big deal for drake, we have seen much bigger amount of money on his bets before. and take note that those bets were the ones posted on his social media. what more about other bets that public don't know about?

Drake is running entire businesses and can write off losses against profits, its never simple with anyone with a large amount of success.  I bet his main deal is the publicity and I read he was doing a charity sponsorship and things like that, I cant see he has giant regrets over a bet.   Much as I wish I could measure my own bets alongside Drake its not in the same universe, he will be fine no matter what & I need to be careful a little and for sure it was sensible to place at least two bets with the main safe one being on Logan straight win no conditions.
