According to Adesanya, he said Dricus is discrediting him and Francis Ngannou which lead to the fight. I wished Adesanya to have won.

I was beginning to think that we in the gambling community have given up on Drake and he's not worth talking about when I saw the news of his loss on social media. Well I guess we still care. The first thought that came to mind when I read of his loss after betting on Israel I thought to myself that if I were competing in any sports and land that Drake bet on me I will take it as bad luck and immediately beg him to bet on my opponent instead. On a serious note looking at Israel's history no one thoughts he would lose the match but anything can happen. A reminder to not underestimate or overestimate anyone.

Drake happened to lose big in a bet placed on a middleweight fight pitting Israel Adesanya against Dricus du Plessis. Drake’s bet was not that small; he was to take home $450,000 if Israel Adesanya emerged the winner. However, one never knows in the world of betting, and this time around luck was certainly not on his side. Such a loss makes us understand that as much as one can win big, the chances of losing are equally high. He lost, but Drake continues to be associated with placing huge bets; it gave some thrill and risk to his life. Many times when it comes to gambling, some stars win while others have to cope with the bitter reality of losing.

Is he not tired of using betting strategies to spread out more on the internet. Every quarter of the year we end up hearing news about how much he lost in his bet or how much he has won. However, i am not really interested in his bet i only feel sorry for those gamblers out there who see him as one of the betting icons. So many people look up to him and his predictions not minding if he chooses the right pick. One thing they forget is that no one is perfect in gambling, everything happens as luck. Drake is not exempted, so every gambler out there following his steps should restrain and make decisions for themselves.

855,000 - 450,000 = 405,000

I saw news about this yesterday, this was not the first time Drake was betting in favor of Israel Adesanya but often he end up losing and now it's consider a curse when Drake bet on his favor.

I wonder when Drake will finally win a bet again because he has been in the losing streak quite a long time now i guess every sport team or men would not want him to bet on their favor now especially Israel Adesanya

You think he cared about the lost?
If you must know Drake is deadly gambler and he could bet any amount he wishes to bet, sometimes whenever I comes across his bet that he lost it get me thinking over the night or even for the whole 24hrs because such amount if equated to our local currency we could have something that would change my entire life for good and I will not become poor again. But what do I do after that, just let it go off from my mind because I know that is his risk level though it's very painful.

Drake is a strong supporter of Isreal Adesanya. He had previously won some good money betting on him and lost about three times. The Canadian rapper has different sources of income, which means he can afford to lose millions on gambling. Maybe he might be lucky next time  since Adesanya said he is not retiring yet.

Dricus du Plessis once said that he was the first to take a belt to Africa and he would be the first real African champion. These assertions didn't go down well with Israel Adesanya and other UFC greats like Kamaru Usman and Francis Ngannou.  The fight lived up to its expectations because both fighters don't see eye to eye. But in the end, it was Africa that won, and both fighters portrayed the spirit of sportsmanship. Dricus du Plessis even gifted his African brother his jacket.

He's losing big and at first people were saying he could afford it because of deals he had with casinos and that it was all fake, but I feel like he's showing too many of these lost bets for it to be a way for casinos to get new players. It's actually working against Drake, undermining him as a gambler. People need to see a balanced win to loss ration, slightly leaning towards wins to get lured in. When they see to many wins they suspect that it's a setup, while too many losses scares them away and makes them watch a guy just to see someone do worse than them, but it's not going to make them bet on the same platform.

Actually this make sense or really that true, wayback on which these loses is already giving out that kind of shock or those reactions but now it turns out that it is already that normal for him to lose.
We do able to see that its really that average half a million dollars kind of bet that he do really make out and ending up on losing. We dont even know on how many bets he had done on a particular
day on which we dont know that it would be even more. Its true that it turns out these events are already that normal on which you cant really be able to see those various reactions on how much
he had lost on this one. Drake is already that known into the community who do make out huge bet on the way he do sports betting. He is usually hanging up with the platform Stake
on making up some bettings. Well, this is where outcomes could possibly go on which whether it would be a hit or miss.

I read through the post and the article, unless I'm missing it, is this the actual bet slip/screen shot that Drake posted himself or is this simply someone who made a a "like" bet post and just used that photo to represent what Drakes bet would/did look like?

LOL not only has Drake had to deal with a major loss at the hands of Kendrick and Not Like Us, but he's getting his ass handed too him at the gambling box office too  :D

AFAIK, Israel is also sponsored by stake so it makes sense for Drake as an ambassador or sponsored by stake too to support his fellow.

This isn't the first time for Drake to bet that much and IIRC, it was bigger in the past. Drake won't stop and he can recover this loss from his royalties and sponsorships.

I also think that he doesn't really care about losing, of course because he can get it again next time. Drake's strength is in the money he has, he can win huge bets and lose them too, so he really has a lot of fun because of it. There aren't many gamblers with Drake's capital strength and mentality on this forum, so perhaps that's why there's been interest in discussing his wins or losses on several occasions.

$405k is a lot of money when converted to local fiat like Nigeria and Indonesia. Of course we can imagine a lot of things to buy with that kind of money, but don't waste too much time thinking about it.

Honestly I initially thought Drake was just gambling on websites to get a cut/advertise but at this point im convinced he really is a huge degen lmao

It seems we are going to have a board or thread dedicated to Drake's bets or gambles because personally it's becoming too much to discuss drakes failed gambles here. At least if we have to do it let's make it more meaningful than just drake lossing his bet in focus, perhaps we know his lifestyle and gamble stories so let's not over exaggerate his games or actions.

I wonder if he's sponsored by Stake but I haven't seen this news before, but I'm sure Drake's bet on Israel is an endorsement.

In fact I know Drake has bet millions of dollars hasn't he? Some say it's money from sponsors but I believe Drake has a lot of money even if he loses the assets will not be depleted.

I didn't know Drake was on Adesanya's side, if I knew he was there then I would be on the other side because Drake's curse is always the same as usual where in actual gambling Drake always burns his money :D
I'm also on Adesanya's side in this bet especially when looking at the opponent, Adesanya is actually quite a favorite but defeat cannot be prevented in this case so my fate is the same as Drake even though the value of the bet is much different.

Drake with a big bet is actually not a new thing but it seems that for now and in the future I should try to take advantage of this by being in the opposite direction to the bet that Drake did because it could make my luck increase considering that every time Drake bets a large amount in any game he always loses because his luck seems to be covered.

Who would blame him though to bet on Izzy? I also bet on Izzy but lost some money because I thought that he is going to win, and this win will cement his legacy. Good game plan by DDP.

So I guess it's a fair fight and good bet by Drake, although it might be his curse again that causes Izzy to lose,  ;D.

In any case, Drake his rich and has tons of money and with that, this is just a chump change for him and he will continue to bet on fights like UFC and boxing and maybe one day he will post again, but this time with a big win.

Man that Drake losses most of the times and that's a bitter reality and trust of his life. I hope in next bet he might win some thing. The guy lost more than 400k in a bet, what a loss.

I believe he trusts his gut feelings when placing bets and that's why he lose his bets. Next time he should try to do deep research instead of trusting his gut feeling.

Yes he is and Stake also sponsored other players,

https://stake.com/sponsorships/ufc


That's why gamblers are very interested on him as far as his betting history. I mean who wouldn't, he is a whale. And with that, we are fascinated on how his bet is going to be. Maybe we can only dreamed the amount of his bets.

And then those who follow started to a trend called "Drake curse"


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13754635/Drake-curse-strikes-Rapper-loses-348-000-betting-Israel-Adesanya-defeat-Dricus-du-Plessis-pitiful-gambling-record-gets-worse-206-bets-Canadian-embarrassing-return.html

Well, he lost at 1.90 odds, this is not that bad, reading the article:


So unlike the other cases, this time he is just more like coinflipping, you win once, you lose once, he did make a few money out of it so not a total loss, especially since in the past:


I wonder if we're not seeing a little bias here, with him making the headlines more when he loses than when he wins, but well, it's free publicity.
He even got his own ticker website:
https://thedrakecurse.com/

the issue is not just that we want to discuss about his losses, if it was a regular loss that happens once in a while, no one would have made a big deal on the matter but when you consider the amount he constantly bets with and how the majority of his bet always goes against him, it's just deficult not to talk about it.

Most of us that are mostly into sports betting that involves multiple of games, if you're unlucky it can just be that one out of the numbers of games you've selected might go contrary or just two. But for Drake's case, it's just a single game selection and it always goes against him. It's definitely worth the talk and attention, bro.

Alas, the Drake curse lives on. At this point Drake deserves his own thread on bitcointalk. His gambling losses are legendary. How many times has he won? I would like to see his win/loss ratio because Drake is always trending whenever he loses but I don’t hear anything when he wins. It’s like any time Drake Drake posts a ticket, the bet is going to go in the opposite direction, although I do not think he cares about his loses.

That’s a huge amount of money, but for the money won’t really be much. Drake is really a risk taker. Drake losing money is now frequent, and I am not always surprised whenever I see any news that he loses money again. Drake gambles with so much money, but we should know that even when he loses, it’s not really going to affect him because he is really rich, and losing such money he won’t really feel it. We should know that he will be winning in some bets also, just that the once that he loses are the ones that are being revealed online, he’s win won’t really be revealed online.

Why is everyone so concerned with Drake and what he bets on or how much.  That much money might seem like a lot but when ypu are worth millions it really isn't.  Is there something I missed with why people follow drakes gambling habits?  Is it just because of the size of the bet and he publicly shows his tickets?  And on top of it if someone is betting like this they bet way more than we realize and have probably won and lost tons that we don't know about.

I missed this match and that was because the time zone difference. It was my sleeping time and I was tired. Just woke up and saw Adesanya trending on Twitter and something seems not right with this game. I feel this game is a set up to make money for some people, the way Adesanya was challenging Dricus, you will think Isreal want to skin him alive but look how he chicken out in the rig, he better stop all those noise so people can make better choice next time, I believe it was his noise that gave Drake confidence to bet that game.

Something seems to be wrong with Drake. He can choose to bet silently and win his money like nothing happened but the way he post games and lost games says a lot we don't know between him and Stake. Is either Drake is a paid partner of Stake or he promote games he feel like it's okay for him. Consistent losing of his bet will soon land him in Bankruptcy.

Yep! Who cares about Drake's bets? It's like obsessing over how many shoes a rich person owns. Dude's got money, he can do whatever. The real question is, why are we wasting brain cells on this? Half the people are probably jealous, so they enjoy reading this kind of news. The other half think he’s some kind of financial or gambling guru, so they follow his every move.

We can't say it was Drake's betting on him that led to his loss looking at his history, at some point a champion has to taste defeat too as it wasn't meant for the average contenders alone. Whenever I hear that Drake made a loss on his bet it doesn't bother me, reason it doesn't is not that it's not a new story about him but that he is someone I believe to be wagering with amount that he can afford to lose according to his level, if he wasn't doing that he would have gone broke by now calculating the total of losses to gambling.

The thing there is that such a big loss from Drake will no longer be a big deal or something new to our ears again; in fact,  it has turned out to be a regular kind of thing, which makes most people wonder if he is truly using his money to place those bets or if they are just some promotional bonuses that were given to him by stake, but on the other hand, it might be, and we just have to consider it as one of his bad habits in terms of gambling.

A lot of controversy is surrounding Drake ever since I tried to mess with Kendrick Lamar. Plenty of strange stories about him came to light and I wonder how long until Stake severs ties with him.

There must be a reason we didn't see any Drake (stake) stream for quite a while now and I guess the recent news about him must play a big role in that.

What controversies are you talking about? That is all just rap beef between two rappers that feel they have a point to prove who’s the greatest. I doubt anyone in the higher echelons of the company is listening to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not like Us”. What any company or brand would consider is the value Drake brings to the business. His followers has not fallen since the rap beef with Kendrick Lamar. He’s remains one of the most influential voices in the music industry. I don’t think there’s any reason Stake should cut ties with Drake.

So its seems, Drake's way of betting still makes headlines, though for all the wrong reasons. If I was an opponent and Drake bet on me, then, of course, I would take that as a potentially bad omen, and he might want to on my opponent instead and. While this victory by Israel Adesanya was a sure bet to happen, it once again shows that miracles can occur in sports and that is, one should never count out or count in anybody based on previous work. In a more interesting twist, Drake does high-profile gambling, which brings a lot of media attention and probably affects public opinion and gambling behaviors.

Drake is very famous influencer, he is also gambler who always dares to take big risks on every bet he makes.
He has lost lot of money several times but he is the favorite because every bet is always dramatic.

Regarding this, it is actually very unfortunate for Adesanya defeat, many people make him the favorite in this fight, even bookmakers also place Adesanya as the favorite.
But it seems that in the future we will still see rematch between Adesanya vs Du Plessis and of course this will be rematch that will again fight for the championship title if Dana can grant it.
We all know what Adesanya is like, he is UFC fighter who is really not easy to give up, will always fight for his achievements even though he has to taste the bitterness of defeat.

I think one reason why he lost is ring rust, as far as I know, Adesanya is away from the Octagon and it's their style, as the saying goes, style makes fight. So for me it has nothing to do with Drake curse or what superstitious belief we connect him to this fight.

As bettors we have our own belief, it just so happen that Drake losses again with big amount of money. And it has nothing to do with his beef with Kendrick or with his ties with Stake. It's just a unlucky bet, and we wouldn't not bet on the former champion Adesanya here?

We don't get to see the kind of Drake's losses everyday in the gambling industry, aside the fact that he is one popular personality, just the amount he uses to gamble is tingling to the ears and how he goes on normal after the loss to come back again to place another bet on another day which may probably result to a loss again is just so unnatural. As in, he literally gambles with an amount of money that most of us are gambling to win and would call it a huge win if we succeed. How unlucky can a man be!

Definitely, we should stop talking about him. He is just a promotional creator hired by the stake team. Drake doesn’t use his own money to place the bets; rather, it’s the stake team who asks him to place the bet and share about it on social media. Drake does this like any other celebrity does endorsements for other brands. Still, I see many people fall for this and think Drake is taking a huge risk and placing a big bet. But all the wise gamblers know that this is just another paid promotion done by Drake.

I read the guys' predictions before the fight, even here on the forum there were those who thought that Adesanya would not be able to regain his belt. From the very beginning, I did not like Adesanya's attitude when he began to say that the belt no longer motivated him, the thing is that if a fighter finds it difficult to find motivation, then it will be difficult for him to win. The beginning of the fight did not foreshadow anything bad, moreover, it seemed that Adesanya was in control, but as it turned out, a few punches, even some clumsy ones, changed everything. And Drake knows how to make good bets.  ;D

Even if he has lost his own money, why would we care about it? He can do whatever he wants with them. Not surprised that people discuss again someone else failure (would be more fun if we start discussing their low bet gambling failures :D), but pay low attention to his success. If they would only get an access of his betting history or google his gambling career, they would not call it as a curse anymore.

I don't think he will thinks much about his losses because he will place another bet in the other days. He must really consider not to placing a big bet anymore in gambling but we can only suggest like that without we know he will listen to us or not.
He has the money so he can do whatever he wants even if that will gives him more losses. We even don't know if that losses money is from his account or he gets his bonus so we don't have to thinks much about his losses.
He will not care with his losses because if he care that, he will not place a big bet instead will use the money for other things. But once he found an excitement from gambling, he will difficult to stops himself from placing his bet. So we can wait for the next thing that comes from him.

The loss aren't a problem to Drake because he sees what he's doing as part of life and Fun, severally he has been on the winning end and this recent times he's having themis huge loss it Will sound like a disappointment to us but to him it's something else entirely.

And this is part of the game that one can always generate loss at anytime regardless,I know cause of his good strategy of winning such bets all eyes have been on his case each time he wishes to place a bet of any kind and I think it's because our focus it's on him that's why this recent time the odds aren't in favour of him.

Basically people are very interested in discussing big wins and big losses that they themselves could never afford to bet on. Obviously sometimes it doesn't really matter - but there are always people who are interested in such things.

Drake is a gambler who probably has a lot of money in his account. He could bet more than the amount he lost yesterday - he could even win 2x or 3x the amount he lost too. The point to note from his loss is - the risk of gambling is losing, no matter how sure you are of winning you can still lose for various reasons.

Yes this is true but do you realized that my reply wasn't speaking about him rather the sportsmen/team/athlete he do bet in their favor since as it seems now the media are considering his betting as a curse which is quite ironic, definitely until things turn around people might just continue to believe this phenomenon and if it doesn't change early I won't be surprised when any athlete/sportsman/team says this also when they lose if he bet favors them.

Actually he want the attention and that's the reason he is still making his betting public and possibly also because he is a promoter/partner of the stake gambling

Drake probably good while playing roulette because he can gets huge winning from this game several times but indeed for sport bets Drake always be unlucky so that's why people starting to called him Drake was curse because when he bets for the particular teams or athlete then those teams or athlete always be lost and before this event Drake also lost when he was bets on Canada for Copa America and during 2024 probably he was lost over than 2 miilion on sport bets

But so far we only focus to Drake loses but people didn't to pay their attention to Drake huge winning because in UFC Drake also can earn a lot of money and on 2023 he can earn approximatelly 2 million with bets on Israel Adesanya too because at that time Drake was bets Israel Adesanya can win TKO from Alex Pereira

Drake is a very poor gambler, seems like all he does is lose these big bets and keep the curse going. He should call me daily and let me know what he is betting a few hours ahead of his bet so I can bet the opposite and clean up lol.

In all seriousness, he doesn't lose all the time, but he does seem to lose the big ones. Crazy!!!

To me it seems normal to see Drake losing that much money.  Every time I see his name it is always attached to the new losing hundred of thousands of dollars.  So I am not surprised reading this one.  The bolded one is also the one I think of.  Having Drake betting on a fighter or team seems like bad luck since the team or fighter ends up losing.


I agree since he can just put his bet in private, but instead he publicly show his bet. So it triggers the question of why he publicly displayed his bet if he did not he wanted to get noticed and cater to attention.  I suppose this is also one of the marketing ploy to promote the platform he is affiliated with

Actually when one has overdone and continues doing what the people has been kicking against, it would at some points become a let go and won't worth to be care about anymore... Especially when the effect is upon the doer just as Drakes gambling life has been an effect to himself alone and not affecting us carrying on his gambling life for discussions.

But however, it is still worth discussing because we are otherwise advocate of responsible gambling not really that it is our responsibility but because we have been dedicated as a community in the interests of gamers and various sectors.

Being honest, Drake only stakes as a gambler he is with an expectation to win. No one chooses to loose his games so I think the narrative of Drake betting on a team seems to be bad luck should be reviewed.

Being aware that a bettor betted on you in a sport bet should be served as an energy booster for you to play your best so that you can protect the looses of your fans but though, Drake has lost so excessively and it is being overwhelming because he seems to be ignorant to it.
Maybe because he has much money and could afford those losts.

It's like groundhog day. Of course, when Drake bets and loses, he loses a lot of money. What do you want him to bet, $20? What is curious is that he does not look like a good bettor.


Maybe he could do better things with that money and his free time, but those losses should not affect his finances too much.

Drake had a bad luck, he choose Adesanya which is the favorite in this fight and we know how great Adesanya is, so Drake wasn't wrong to pick Adesanya unlike shitty bet where he pick Canada over Argentina.

The funny thing is why most people aren't tired to see his drama and staged bet? yeah he can promote the platform with those creative marketing, but this staged bet is already too much. I already at the moment where I don't fucking care with his bet and the loss anymore.

I am totally not surprised to see this topic again. I think it is time to combine them all into Drake and gambling. I feel like people are happy to see when Drake losses and I dont understand why celebrity failures drags so much attention. I would better call it as bad luck than a curse. He did win sometimes after all, he just dont like to display that nor people pay as much attention to that. Even if he has lost $450k, he did have a cashback or special conditions after all.

If I were to bet on that match it would've been in favor of Israel Adesanya, and I would've lost like Drake. So on this perticular Drake's lose, I really sympathize with him because I would've done the same thing. Having clarified that, I still think that Drake, is a serial loser when it matters in sports bets. If I were his follower and I found out that he wants to bet in favor of a team or an individual to win and I'm in support of his choice, I'll think twice about my decision. I wouldn't worry about his loses, it's his money and if it's amount that he can afford to loose, then he'll easily move on.

I guess it's not just Drake who lost in this bet. Many celebrities and UFC fans might've also lost their money for Israel Adesanya. I am one of those.
It's just that Drake is transparent with his bet and he is sharing it on social media but I bet many rich people also lost their money and just stayed silent about it. The odds are inviting, it even went up to x1.93 for Izzy and I think that's a sweet offer considering how he always gets up and claims the title again after a loss. We saw how he knocked out the now-light heavyweight champ.

The crazy thing is, this is a must-win for him so that he could lift his confidence back but he did say he will be back so I am guessing he has a plan next time. But, the problem is if Dana White will make it happen one more time.

On a serious note, no one thought that isreal will lose the match, this is another reason why gamblers should be careful, no matter who you are betting on they can still lose the game even with past almost perfect history, it changes nothing, so better secure yourself and use what you can afford to lose.

We don't have to keep using Drake bets as an example, he lose money but who are we talking about here? I believe some people are intentionally make useless points out of drakes bet, to hell, this is someone who can afford to lose that amount, the question is can you? How much is your worth is what will determine how much you can withstand to lose.

Stop using celebrities as an example when it comes to gambling, they can afford to see the money gone, you can't, there is a big difference, to me it just show that many people still can't cut their clothes according to their size.

Honestly, Drake has become a symbol of bad luck in gambling. Whenever his name is mentioned, the first thing that come to mind is the amount he loses to gambling. I wonder if there are times he actually win and if there were, why don't he publish same so that people will not only see gambling as a place to lose money because that is what his story is showing. Assuming he can make his bets public before the kick off of the event, I will be going against him every time since he is famous for losing. Any opportunity for making money must be properly used.

Actually Adesanya's loss has nothing to do with superstitious beliefs whatsoever, come to think of it, it wasn't Drake that was the only gambler to bet in favour of Adesanya in the entire world, people from other walks of life would have picked Adesanya against his opponent.  In a fight of two there must be a one loser and gamblers has to be lucky not to pick the loser. What makes Drake's case special is his unending losses for each single bet he makes which seems to be very weird that he can't get a single win in all the single bet sessions he has been making, at least just one to break the chain.

Honestly he has some serious royalty checks coming in at times, and he just uses them, I do not think that Stake really fronts him.

Maybe he has some good advantages to play here, like maybe he gets 10% back when he loses or something, but it is not fake money or money that stake fronted him, I seriously believe that this is his own money and not anyone else's. He can lose this because he is very rich, he makes millions and millions every year, dude is one of the most listened singers in the world, and that means he makes insane amount of money.

When you have that much money, everyone has their own hobby, some people are greedy and use it to make even more money, some people are not interested and just put it aside, some people do something totally different business for fun, and Drake just uses it to gamble, it's his own money and he can do whatever he wants with it.

I believe that he really deserves to let go time to time, he works hard enough to not respond to anyone for his money. While the toughness of the work may not be like some miner or garbage man which are much tougher jobs, being able to get 1+ billion listens on spotify type of fame ain't easy thing to do neither, so he should do whatever he wants with his money.

Drake wins = the media gets it covered.
Drake losses = the media gets it covered.
The real winner here isn't Drake although he's paid as a celebrity for his endorsements but stake that always gets the exposure from him and he's always gets to be talked by the gambling community with how much he bets which we all knew that it is legit money from his pocket.

I think both Drake and Stake are the real winner here. We all know that the money which Drake use for betting is just a money from Stake due to their partnership. Drake exposure to media with his bets makes him a better endorser for Stake for a long term partnership.

Regardless of the result, Both Drake and Stake still earn something from it as long as people will keep talking about it when media covers it.

It’s not a big deal anymore Drake losing less than a million since that amount is just the same amountof his single bet when he play on casino games.

That is his capital here, he uses real money and that's why the reputation he's got outside the entertainment industry is still there on him. People find him still as a reliable guy and trustworthy because of how much he gambles and how much he can lose.

We don't have an idea how his deal goes for that casino but for sure there are some incentives behind that.

No question about that.

He dives into the gambling industry and is still able to make that much. Win or lose, he's free to do whatever he wants and his living the best type of life that everyone is desiring for.

Let alone losing a million a day won't be damaging to him but if he continues to have that kind of fate even with those royalties and everything that comes from promotions.

He can't just let it happen or else, he'd experience some serious financial problem. I know people say that he's very rich and can lose a lot of money anytime any day but I tell you that he's got no unlimited money.

I wonder what he gets from all theses news about him in the gambling community. To me he is a careless gambling and just because he is wealthy he keeps placing reckless bets. I got tire of news about him long ago as there's nothing good to hear about him gambling activities. Drake just wants the attention that's all he's not a gambler. I've never seen a News of him winning. Does he? All the time I've heard About drakes gambling activities it's all about how he placed his bet and losses. If theres any news about his wins maybe someone should point me to it.  ???

it's all an organized thing as always he makes people follow him in his bets and makes sure he loses so that everyone can lose with him, he's a serial gambler who only thinks about his own profit and that of the casino and he does well!

There is a proverb or adage expressed by sports fans and gambling lovers for Drake.

This time Drake was really unlucky in gambling, Israel Adesanya did not move in front of Alex Pereira, he threw a series of punches in Round 5, so the referee decided to stop the duel, Drake is known to like placing large bets, That's typical of him, but at least he has won large bets a few times, for example: the three million pound win in London, between Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann.

As the saying goes Drake seems the curse continues in future bets, if he does it again, Drake's luck is bad for gambling this year.

We have known Drake to have been a big fan of Adesanya but I don't know why he keep losing fights that could have made many of his fans win so much money. Gambling is fun especially when we keep getting the kind of results we have been anticipating for. This is not the first time Drake is losing so much money in betting and like we all know that he do make profits sometimes which is why we need to always risk what we know we can afford to lose. Drake has a lot to money and he keeps trying his best when it comes to gambling. There are many times we had made good profits in betting even on Adesanya which it looks like he had lost a fortune.

There are assumptions that he's really that doing such stuff for people to follow up his bets but what about into those winning ones? We are really just that too much focused on losing bets and not into those winning ones.If he's really that making up that choices on intention on losing it then it would really be that impossible that people wont really be skeptical in regarding about that. Well, there would really be those die hard fans
who will really be that definitely be that following no matter what. This is why it would really be that too absurd if you would really be following him blindly just because you are really that a die hard fan?
You are really just that basically making yourself having that potential loses on which we know that it would be always good that we should be the ones that choosing up our bets.

As for Drake then losing big bets isnt really that shocking anymore. Everyone knows that this dude is a heavy gambler. Just like on what i had said above that people are really just that too much focusing into its
loses rather than into its wins and this is why we are really that able to see that whenever he loses then it do create too much noise and attention on which it isnt really that actually bad for him
but rather it do adds up more exposure and popularity.

What..? again a pretty penny.. I'm coming to a conclusion that his lost is not kind of vagaries of chance but it is a really hard  for him to place a winning bet. Definitely he is a rich man  to be drowned out his numerous losses but he could have something to show for his money, splash the cash on charity or his own education, for instance.

Although Drake has more losses than wins, the good thing about his gambling is that win or lose he’s having fun. That cannot be said for a lot of gamblers who see gambling as a means to keep the lights on and so they take high  risks that cause them to lose their money. I am yet to see on the news that Drake is broke because of his gambling habits, I have read of Bruno Mars and his gambling problems and he’s not even in the news for gambling like Drake. I think we should give him a break. All of us lose our bets. Being a celebrity doesn’t make him any better than the average guy.

So we now have something called the "Drake curse" - fantastic, so folks, never be on the side that Drake is betting in, if you believe in superstitions.

I am sure Drake has partnership money as well as their own money. But musicians should learn when to stop these risky things because their lives are unpredictable and they also need to become humble with money at some point for their and their family future.

Guess these things are not going to happen to Drake and more such big losses are going to happen.

Drake went to watch the fight but instead he got KOed, dang! Good thing he can afford to lose it, or at least we think he can. Maybe Drake is in the onset of a very dismal string of continuous losses that leads him to loss of all his earnings. Highly doubt it but hey it’s happened to many a famous folk.

No doubt Drake has money but he is supported by stake.

Drake and crypto betting site Stake officially announce partnership: 'It was inevitable' (https://ftw.usatoday.com/2022/03/drake-crypto-betting-stake-partnership-inevitable)

Although real money is being used by him and if it's about Israel, here's the news about his partnership with stake : Stake.com recruits UFC’s Israel Adesanya as new global brand ambassador (https://sbcnews.co.uk/marketing/2021/01/20/stake-com-recruits-ufcs-israel-adesanya-as-new-global-brand-ambassador/)

It's kind of old but I don't know if the partnership is still active but we get the idea.

450 thousand dollars is a lot of money but it's not a lot to drake because he's extremely rich considering the fact that he can just make it back with a single record deal. I don't think he carefully analyzes his bets because this is not the first time I have seen him throw such an amount of money away. Betting on Israel adesanya is quite a good pick because the odds were in favour of him to win but the game has a lot of uncertainties and playing with such an amount is insanity to the average man

The monies that drake is losing is making it sound as if it is not real money. Because 450k is so much that it doesn't sound like a real human being will bet that amount on a match.

Almost a year ago at about the same time, exactly, 10th Sep 2023, Drake lost $500,000 after betting on Israel Adesanya to retain his middleweight title at UFC 293. And here is another repeat this year. If Israel is having another fight next year at this time and Drake bets on him, I can tell that he is going to lose again.

As for Israel, with or without belt, he is still a champion. I dare say that even when he is out of the game, the memories of his accomplishments will continue to live on. In the past I would feel terrible when the fight doesn't go his way, but not anymore. For me, he is a legend.

If I was a conspiracy theorist I think there would be enough fodder for me to claim that Stake and Drake are working together with athletes on these large events to lead the most people they can into losing bets. That would be a difficult thing to cover up though. As wild as it may be, we might just have to realize that Drake is the worst gambler of all time.

I was just feeling for Drake when his betting and losses were happening. Not until I was told he is an ambassador of Stake, so I concluded that he uses some percentage of royalty paid to him by Stake to gamble in the platform.
I just feel for his fans who will like to follow his footsteps. I know some fans can be so surprising to follow someone sheepishly. But then, they should do it with moderation. Drake has nothing to lose because he gains more than he gambles.

Hahaha, is funny to hear you say that Drake is the most worst gambler. Well might be true and might not, he might be recorded as the most worst gambler because he's famous, which means we all knows who Drake is. However I think there are more gamblers that have worse cases on winning in gamble than Drake, or let's say having a losing spray in the whole month makes one a worst gambler. Although from what have seen from some Drake's bet histories I can't bet the same thing as he's, rather I will do the opposite of his bet.

Hehe mate you very funny man😅🤣, is Drake that ill luck to the point that anyone he bet on will lose, and to say Isreal of all peotwill lose such a fight, is something unthinkable, but then it did happen and now the reality ster at us in the face, what then can we say.

Drake loses have been on a multiple trends and we have to agree that he is a bad speculator or bettor, and for such we need to know that he loses more than he wins this days, but we can't stop talking about Drake.

I remember one bet Drake place $500k on, I'm not sure if it was this immediate season that ended but he bet that amount Barcelona and he loss and consecutively he was losing bet and anytime he bet on games, the fans go under his comment session to beg him to cancel the bet otherwise their team will loss and sadly he was losing until one time he broke the loss spirit and won.

Drake has lost bet On Anthony Joshua and some good players and I just think he has alot of money to throw to casino but if I'm to advice him, I will tell him to stop but who am I to even advice him ;D when he makes his money by himself, he has the right to use it as he fit. So I wish him good luck in the future bet journey with stake casino.

If he is already taking losses like those ones and not even flinching about it I would guess he is already having a very good a profitable journey as Stake partner, makes me wonder whether he actually wager money he does not have won in the casino itself, like money from his musical career for example.
Also, I believe it is easy for us as expectators to judge Drake's choice and think we would be better bettors than he is, when in reality, the only thing which makes us notice his betting miscalculations is his notoriety itself, and not being a particularly bad bettor. Anyone of us could commit such blunts, it is simply more entertaining when it is not us, but some random famous and rich people, so we  can feel better with ourselves about our own mistakes. Drake is pretty much aware of all his betting infamy, he probably enjoys it deep down his heart, as people will continue to talk about him, not only on the betting world but also within music industries.

He is rich, so losing this amount of money doesn't change anything in his life. Now he needs to start taking more time to analyze the games he has bet on, because sometimes he has bet on games that are obvious that he will lose. Speaking more specifically about this fight, I am not a UFC expert, but I follow Israel Adesanya on social media, how he defeated Perreira, and I am a fan of Perreira, but I also started to follow Israel Adesanya. In this fight I was more inclined to think that Israel Adesanya would win, but I read some analyses that made me change my mind, one of these analyses said that when Dricus du Plessis put Adesanya on the ground and immobilized him, then Dricus du Plessis would win this fight. I soon realized that Dricus du Plessis would win the fight. I think if Drake followed the UFC closely he would have seen that Dricus du Plessis would win the fight

Drake lost bet again from this I just know that drake is really addicted to gamble I mean I hear the news like 3 times from this forum only I don't know how much he loss in other match that we don't know.
And I actually just curious how to know if that bet is really from the drake I mean is there indicator in Stake.com is the data publicly available or some people find the hole to look another people bet

Final thought 400K++ money is a lot tbh I mean if I had that money I don't need to work till I die

Drake is notorious, as I see it, for betting like that. It's even said to bet against what he is doing and it will most of the times bring you something in return ;D

We've been saying that, but no one has probably followed through by betting against his bet slip, because if someone had, we might have already seen a thread about it. Drake is a big-time gambler; his bets are huge, and that's probably just an ordinary bet for him. We tend to focus so much on his losing bets, but what if there are other winning bets as well? For him to be a millionaire, his betting range is quite large compared to ours, so we should just remain amazed by his bets. But actually, we also have our own range, so we just need to focus on it and try to win and don’t end up like Drake.

I almost dropped a bet for Israel Adesanya to win, but somehow my instincts told me otherwise which made the bet not dropped. And fortunately after seeing the results I felt safe from betting mistakes, it was quite surprising that Israel Adesanya was favored from the start. Drake is used to losing and this will not make him lose, in fact Drake still benefits even though he loses the bet. Adesanya said that maybe he didn't accept defeat, because in any case the final result was clear that Dricus won.

I also thought that Adesanya was going to win the fight. He is the slight favorite to win, but this was a sorry loss for Adesanya. This is the first time he has lost twice in a row. Drake could have made the right choice; it was just that Dricus made the right preparation for this fight.

Duplessis was laughing at Drake after the fight, Drake should have stopped announcing who would be betting next time and just made the announcement after he won the fight this is to avoid embarassment.

Drake keeps loosing bets and seems like he never gives up even when he's loosing so much, i don't see this as a reasonable thing enough because he should by now after several losses have a better strategy and its now looking like he has got a thing for loosing and so if he place a bet just go there and place against who he placeses to win and then you may most likely get to win yours too.

as a gambler loosing this much often isn't encouraging although i know he's too wealthy to see any of that as an issue because he's a wealthy person so somehow it doesn't get to affect him but its not a safe pattern for gamblers to follow, except its a promotional stunt or fanaticism, i would advise he takes a break off gambling in a long while and comeback with a better strategy.

Well it seems his gambling history wasn't that bad, the fact he won multiple times, but his losses is more viral than his winning and it's make sense since people always like to see someone is poorer or bad than them.

Most people not happy to see other people happy, they will be happy if you share some of your money or achievement to them, that's the reality.

Yes, we can make good profits by betting the opposite of what Drake has been betting lately :) Drake gambles huge amounts and I think it's a wrong choice for him to gamble so much, regardless of his wealth. People like Drake have to be careful with his behavior because he appeals to a certain audience. There's nothing wrong with gambling, but sharing a very high amount of gambling can encourage people who follow him to gamble with their last money. This can lead to major depression. Therefore, you cannot set an example for people by gambling very high amounts.

I am not surprised at all  by the news, because as a gambler of course he will ever to lose so there is no gambler who will always win even though he is an artist or as a star in the casino that he promotes, likewise the amount that Drake lost is not surprising because it is only a small percentage of his total wealth, maybe even the result of him as a casino star is much greater than the amount he has lost in his sports bets, so it's a normal thing for whales except for regular gamblers like me.

Well, I see some sense in your statement, drake is one of the most wealthy artists in the states and world wide, losing such amount won't affect him much or even make him go bankrupt, and I believe as a star to the casino he promotes he should be receiving some bonuses for that and I believe that most of the money he bets with could be those bonuses he gets from the casino and not his musical career money (just my thought though) moreover people don't post his gambling success as much as they post his loses. My worry is not concerning Drake cause he's a made man already but for those fans that would want to copy his bet all in the name of being his fan.

The post above yours shows that betting opposite Drakes bet is not going to work. But if want to try, then why not?

I dont know who will encourage Drake, a people still make their own bets, but Drake sports bets are not the most popular. I trying to say, that football betting probably is the most popular sport to bet, but Drake barely pays attention to that. Also I am not sure that Drake is the high bettor, as we recently had a topic where a guy has lost his multimillion company in gambling.

It's not the first time that drake is losing huge amount in bet and I believe that the more he lose, he sometimes recovers his losses too from other successful bet of he's. If he doesn't make a huge win most times, there's no way he would still keep wagering with a huge amount as he normally does. Drake often loses a huge amount which only teaches me one thing, a gambler must not be so confident in a bet they place and they must not stake more that the money they can afford to lose.

Are you saying that Drake isnt confident in his bet? I doubt that he places his bets randomly or in a rush. With his latest lost bet, Adesanya indeed had all the chances to win and he was a favorite.

If he was really that bad at gambling, he would have lost his fortune already. However, he gambles not regularly. How often do we have topics about his loss? Once every 1-3 months. Quite normal imo for me. Would be much worse and he would show a bad example if he looses such amounts daily.

Isn't Drake stake ambassador any more, because I am sure that if he is still an ambassador at stake, he may likely not be betting with his own money, It could be the money he makes from stake and using it to gamble as a give back, if he be lucky, he will win, if not lucky he can lose also.

And for this fact that he may not feel the impact of those consistent loses from his gambling time, unlike if he was gambling with his personal money, any ways this is just my assumptions about the whole situations as with Drake and stake bets, which are usually huge amounts each time.

I would like to see his bets always and maybe do the reverse Drake or something like that. All that I see in posts is that he lost. Is there even positive news with what he bets on or something? I know he has a lot of money to lose, and it's his decision, you know. It's just that it's probably his entertainment.

I am not as brave as he is in betting. I am also not as brave as other famous people when betting on numbers that I think are fantastic if the bet is won.
If I bet beyond my ability, I can't imagine how I should return that amount of money. The nominal amount that was bet took a long time for me to collect.
For Drake, even though he failed to win the bet, for him it might be a small amount and he probably didn't care about it.

That's true, and the sad part of it is that whenever Drake wins a huge sum of money, it's never made public on social media, but only when he loses, that media always seems to usually prioritize, of which it's not the first time such news about him been discussed among us in this gambling community, which shows his interest in sports, most especially MMA, Kick-boxing and soccer.

Yes, that's true, because it is it's ability of being unpredictable that makes it more fun and interesting, of which many needs to understand this concept, as to never put all hope in whatever amount they use to gamble, and as such, gamble with what they can always afford to lose.

Having followed this whole Drake lost bets for quite a long time now, I will tell you that the only reason he bet on Adesanya is because that's his friend and its not the first or last time his backing his buddy on his betslips!!!

Watch the stylebender's YouTube channel, once in a while he does talk of Drake or get to video call him and that's when you get to understand some of Drakes bets... #loyalty at it's best and I don't blame him for the losses tbh 8)

---

Looking at the amount of money he has lost against that he has won, clearly we all can see that his a good gambler and knows when he has a winning hand!

Besides all this, him losing and going viral over these betslips is part of the marketing as brand ambassador :P

Love his strategy, solid 10/10 lol

Given the amount that he is losing and the way he flaunts it in public, I don't think the guy is losing his fortune in gambling. We will see him betting more on popular events.

Drake has become an attraction every time there are big events. He has many followers now, but I don't think they will trust his betting judgement, with a lot of losses to his credit, who trust him.  :D

I think he already made history by becoming the most followed celebrity when it comes to betting. He's been doing this for years and will not stop doing this; I wonder if his losses already reached $20 million or more.

It getting normal seeing Drakes gambling losses and by now i expect people to get used to it and stop seeing it as being careless. We all know how gambling can be and that one can lose even when gambling on the cheapest odds.

No one talks about his wins and i am sure he also win some of his bets if not he would have thought of stopping it by now. I believe his wins are even more than his loses but people make something over his loss and makes them go viral.

This kind of betting is for rich people and it is mostly profitable for them, they risk huge amounts on a bet that is likely to happen although nothing is certain so sometimes they end up losing. People think Drake is reckless with his bets but i don’t think so though sometimes he is a bit reckless but not all the time.

But you are betting with high amount of money that if you lose you are not going to be comfortable with it. If I have bet in the match and I lose the bet, I will not think of anything. If I did not bet it and I saw that I would have lost the bet, there is nothing special about that. There have been matches that I lose and there have been many that I won. What only makes me feel comfortable is not that I did not bet on the match I would have lost, it is because I am using small amount of money to bet.

I do not understand this. Adesanya said he did not accept defeat? That guy won. Him won clearly and we all saw it. Although I wished Adesanya to have won.

Wow. One spin of roulette worth 17.9 million. I haven't heard of that. Given this list, it's starting to look like he might be on the plus side. In general, he is definitely in the black given his partnership with Stake, which seems to be worth several hundred million, but it is nice to see that even in his high rolls he wins significant money.
A little conspiracy theory: he is luckier at roulette because everything is fair there, but in sports everyone is rigged (fixed games haha) against him  ;D

I think Drake is using his bet to show off so that we can always hear about his huge losses to pull some stunts in the media. I think we have heard a lot of his losses and he is happy losing.

Though, he is a wealthy guy who can do whatever he likes with his funds because he gambles with peanuts compared to what he has. Maybe we are carried away with the amount of money that he uses when to me it is nothing.

What I do know is that Drake is ready to lose any amount. I don't know how many times he has lost against Stake but because this is a business so everything becomes fun entertainment for him. Talking about losing a large amount right now many of my friends are also experiencing the same thing and what they do is play what Drake plays on stream. ;D

People do really love to make up some discussion about someones loses and since Drake is a known person then it would really be that making out such buzz on which its not really that something shocking anymore.
There would really be those individuals who would really be loving on following Drake into its bets. I dont know on whats the winning rate of Drake when it comes to sports betting but it do looks that there are really that still tons of bettors who would really be that following into his picks. We dont know if those followers are in gain or loses because on the time or moment that its on negative then pretty sure that there wouldnt be no much people will be following blindly but it seems it is the opposite. This is why it will really be just that depending on you whether you would be following or not.

Drake is a heavy gambler and its not something his first time on losing such big amounts. Partnership or being ambassador of Stake as far as i know then it wont be shocking
that there would really be that something that talks about marketing or exposure of such platform and its a typical attention on which it could possibly get.
People are really that focusing too much just on the loses, how about his winning bets?

Would you consider that as gambling because he did not use his hard-earned money to gamble? With your perception, he can be able to take such risk because he the money was not from his business or entertainment but from endorsement. Regardless of the free funds he may have used, such money could be used to do other personal stuff. I do want to believe that he has nothing else to use money for so why would he choose to accept the risk of losing a lot of money?

Being an ambassador is also a source of funds for him. Being a celebrity is something that he would never want to be low on funds instead he once more and more. However, don't forget that most times he made those bets to advertise the brand. That's why you will always notice that he places his bet with stake.

Sports betting, like Drake's, is fickle and can be fickle at that, notwithstanding how assured one feels about their picks. These losses can be an annoying ordeal, especially with huge amounts of money included.

To many individuals, especially celebrities like Drake, gambling is fun and challenging but with real risks. Sure, a loss of this magnitude would be financially straining. However, that is the nature of betting sometimes we win big sometimes we lose big.

To aficionados, such moments are also a great eye-opener to the significance of placing bets sensibly and understanding that in the betting world, winning plus losing make two sides of a coin. Keeping cool and imbibing every experience, on winning as well as on losing, is pivotal for striking balance in the presence of risks.

I'm not sure if I'm the only person with this sense of reasoning about Drake and stake casino. He might have been a social gambler back then but he never reveal his gambling character to the public but as soon as he became their brand ambassador, that guy has share more games as a gambler than I have read good news about his music, not even if Drake has released music since he started this gambling show biz or real business.

I don't want to sound like I'm poor ;D but common that amount is too big to be used for gambling. Even in the US where is based or Canada where he is from, that amount is big enough to start a better life for anyone twgre but due just bet it on a Isreal that was said to even earn more on this fight despite losing the match, he still made his money, this is why I feel the game is also manipulated.

Everything is relative.  I don't think that's a lot of money for Drake.  In fact, I bet that by making his bets public like this and sharing his referral code he probably gets more money in referrals than he spends on his gambling losses.  Imaging how many tens of thousands of people have signed up under him and gamble regularly.  He probably could live a very nice lifestyle off of just that alone.  So even though he's losing massive sums of money, he probably just considers it a marketing expense for how he gets his real payday.

The dude is wealthy, so am beginning to think that he's happy losing because it seems like the money he's losing he didn't struggle to get them. However he's a celebrity and I believed that he has a lot of assets so losing millions of dollars wouldn't affect him anytime soon. And the facts that he's a celebrity gives him more reactions on his Twitter (X) page and he's making more than what he has lost from other social medias including other deals he has with most companies.

It is not about showing off but it is more also on promoting the site stake as he is one of the Ambassadors of this casino. So it is no surprise that he will be posting snapshots of his bets. Though he lost large amount of money but we don't know his arrangements with the site. But with such amount, I guess this is the reason why there are a lot of high rollers in stake. They can very well afford such huge bets. And haven't heard about withdrawal problems on this site. It is not that I am also promoting this casino, but I believe they already cemented their good reputation in the community.

Off course such gambling is more prominent among streamers, because there are acting based on demand that somewhat scripted, although not all of them some of them actually get involved with the games and producing result at all time, but the others majority are all following the script of their paid master.

Drake for example get involved into the real games by staking life verified events such as in this case, so the ability to understand things from afar will help to make your own. Independence analysis on such games and not following the trend.

No doubt that he still benefits from these losses that he's made. He's got for sure some x-deals or any sort of deal aside from being sponsored of stake.

Stake is getting too much exposure on this and look on how we're able also to discuss this topic.

Win or lose, any bet from Drake will always be a talk of the town.

Of course anyone following such person can only stake with the amount the can afford to lose or do you think they would go borrow to stake as high as Drake does? No because it's not possible, so even though I am to followup Drake on his bet I will only bet on the amount I think if I lose it wouldn't caused me sleepless nights or giving me a bad moment, because only those who doesn't understand the gambling principle could go stake thinking it would result as planned.

Is that bet a big bet for Drake? We are talking about a half million bet, to win 850k, but we have seen some roulette spins where he wins millions, something like 7 or 9 million on a spin, and for those spins he places 350k bets, so, losing 500k bet on sports i don't feel it's a big one or even relevant compared with his gambling sessions.

And we know Drake has a deal with Stake, so, this is just part of the show, that money isn't even real at all. He wins by promoting the site, not by placing bets on it.

Very funny one, it's worth saying because Drake is obviously wasting money in what is not his calling, his bets can be best interpreted as bad luck. he's just promoting Stake.com which he's a partner of and I feel these games are proxy since the verifiable details like betslip ID is not shown. I have some cold feelings it's just for the web and has nothing to do with his finances.
Just another promotion strategy on the Internet space.

I'm sure Drake's bets on Stake.com are still part of Stake.com's promotion, so even if he loses that bet it's like he still wins because it's a promotion meaning he's paid. Even if we say his bet lost, for me it's just like Drake's free bet on Stake.com. That's why I'm really against these kinds of bets, although I also bet on Adesanya in this match but for his other bets like in the NBA or other sports, I'm always against his picks. These kinds of bets by Drake encourage people to follow his bets, which usually end up losing.

Since Drake is not an average person, I feel that the amount of money he bet and lost can be considered not a large amount, but for me it is a lot.

Meaning he makes money very easy so he can easily bet big money if he gets a lot of followers.
Honestly. Betting hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars is beyond my means and I never bet beyond my means because gambling is just for fun which fits my pleasure spec.

Sounds like fun to him, and not good for your friends, unfortunately ;D

Drake has become a sponsor of Stake.com, of course it's part of the promotion.
 Showing such a big bet will attract a lot of attention from people including him having a lot of followers, so naturally his defeat will be the talk of many people.

He will not lose a lot of money it is certain that the sponsorship deal reaches a large number and it could be that every bet will get free BTC from Stake.com? Still a possibility, when he bets a lot of people will follow his steps.

If he announced the bets after the game nobody would believe him those are the only ones that he placed, people will say he's not talking about the ones he lost and the rumors about the bets will just grow in all possible directions.
Far more normal would be for the others to stop feeling so high and might when somebody else is making a wrong prediction, after all it's their money, not theirs.


If we take sports bets, of course only public ones he has talked about, he is in profit according to a tracker:


I think there is a bit too much hate and envy floating around, even for a celebrity, and the fact that this comes from gamblers is even more intriguing.

It's obvious that Drake makes a lot of money from his partnership with Stake, but I don't think he's making fake bets. If I remember correctly he was involved in gambling long before this partnership and apparently gambling is one of his hobbies. The fact that he gets paid is a big bonus for him, but it does not change the fact that he has a passion for gambling.

Yes its true that before even with those partnerships then Drake does really have that passion when it comes to gambling, it did really just turn out that it is really that making up some getting some interest or
attention because it is really that having partnership with Stake or whatever companies or platforms that make up some partnership with this guy on which we know that this man is also popular too.
Why would really be that people that too highly reactive on how much he is really that losing with gambling? We do know that when it comes to spending up money then its none others business on how much
we would really be spending through it. It is really just that people are really that highly reactive when it comes to other peoples spending without even trying to realize that its not their money that
being spent but its from others.

I agree with you, but we really don’t know the full story behind it. If he has a partnership with Stake, it could just be a form of promotion. Marketing has changed nowadays, and losses tend to get more attention than wins, especially since Drake is such a famous personality. Do you think we’d still be talking about this if Drake had more wins?

I do agree that big loses now do really have that much bigger kind of attention grabbing kind of condition on which is more than with huge winnings. We dont really actually be able to know if it was really that intentional or not because we dont really know on whats behind with those choices or bets that he had made out. Its really that common that we are really that seeing he's losing up an amount that not everyone
would be able to see on day to day basis. With those numbers then you could really be able to have those kind of questions in mind on how the heck they do consider out those amounts on which
it is really that too big or something an amount that could changed up someones life entirely or having that different kind of status but well its normal that people will be having that different
life conditions or status.

I'm sure Drake gets a lot of money for promoting Stake on his social media accounts, so he can afford to lose large sums of money from time to time. For many of us this money could change our lives dramatically, but I think that for him such big bets are not only a way to attract attention to Stake but also to create a buzz around him. Which he's pretty good at.

Yeah it's obvious that when Drake loses 500k it's basically nothing to him. There are people that say these bets aren't even real though and it's just used for promotional purposes but I actually think they are real. If you ever watched the Drake on stake streams that happened in the past it kind of shows what he degen gambler he can be.  ;D
He is the type of "just one more time" player that doesn't know when to quit, even when he announces it a million time like "this is the last spin".
Some people really have too much money and don't know where to throw it all.  :P

Well, you are both correct on which if we do really tend to see this mans networth then the amount we are talking on here is really just that small. Lets exclude into the partnerships and other
side incomes that he's getting from like in ads or partnerships,endorsements etc.. then it wouldnt really be just that he's really that getting solely the money on being a singer or whatever career
this dude have. Speaking about winning situation then this is a win-win situation for him on which making up some buzz for him and also same goes on doing his job in Stake partnership on which
this is pretty sure brings up that tons of hypes and interest on which it could possibly drawn out people to play on the site and we do know that this is how business and marketing works.  :)

Maybe Drake has a psychotype of a person where optimism is combined with the desire to win...
I want to say that many addicted betting fans have a common feature. They are optimists and at the same time they love to compete. It's like it's in their blood, and often such people also play sports in real life. And for a bookmaker, such guys are an ideal target. They are motivated in their aspirations and this pushes them to place bets again and again, perceiving the bookmaker as their opponent. But in such a confrontation, the bookmaker will never lose. Therefore, we can conclude that optimism is not always good.

Or he is just plain gambler, a whale with obviously deep pocket and so he can bet as much as we want's and doesn't care if he losses that big money. If he wins then good for him, as he can stroke his ego and shows the money.

However, like in this case, he take that lose like a man. But for us mere average gamblers, we just envy him and then magnified the story to look like he is very unlucky with his beat and somewhat we should go against him and others say that he has somewhat of a curse.

But in many ways, the desire to hustle and to compete is not inherently a problem, and can in actual fact be quite a positive thing. It may also help people achieve optimal goals and manage challenges. However, when such drive is not backed by good strategy and awareness, there may be problems, such as addiction or reckless decision making. So there should be awareness and personal control so that competitiveness does not lead to a person becoming out of control. Another factor that has to be in good health is the strategy to avoid situations where such people end up using their energies and positive attitude in the wrong way or even to a point of making a loss.

That is benefit of becoming ambassador. He gets a lot of money while he can gambling without think about his real money. Maybe Stake give him a lot of money for gambling to fills his gambling habit. Of course that money is a lot for us and we think that is stupid think to use that big money. But not with Drake because he can get more and more money from that so he will not worry if he lost much money. If I were Drake, maybe I will do the same because that is free money that I can use to playing gambling and I don't have to afraid with my losses.

So, according to Blockworks, his deal with them is worth $100 Million per year, which I'd speculate probably includes equity in Stake.com: https://blockworks.co/news/crypto-casino-stake-revenue (https://blockworks.co/news/crypto-casino-stake-revenue)

Someone started a website tracking all his historical sports bets. Although he loses about 2/3 of them, surprisingly, he's actually in profit since his partnership with Stake started: https://thedrakecurse.com/ (https://thedrakecurse.com/)

By creating a buzz around he gets a chance to introduce himself and the stake as well. There are many techniques for promotion and nowadays most of the developers use social media to get traffic everywhere and promote their stake to the most people. With systematic campaigns you can promote yourself everywhere so you have to be strategic and Drake is doing just that.

I wonder what's really happening with Drake loosing bets on several occasions and it's making alot of people loose hope on him, but don't you think he's doing it on purpose to see people's reactions or better still he's doing it to help out with his other opponent cause it's not funny anymore seeing the amount of loses he's made and he's not having regretsfor anything.

Have any one though of it this way and definitely he's betting in favour of Israel and I think this act of him loosing is done based on his choice because with knowing alot of strategies in a particular game and then you bet on behalf of it, only to get a loss,Drake has so much money that nothwithstanding the loses he's encountered while betting it's not bothering him and he sees it from a very different point of view than we see it,and what if it's his little way of giving back.

I have always had my suspicion that Drake is doing promotion for Stake because he is one of their ambassador but thinking about it properly, posting a losing bet somehow send the wrong message. But we can not also forget that bad publicity is also a publicity so it could just be that he is drawing attention to the platform which can bring a lot of interest. If he could place of that amount and have the confidence of receiving payout if the game worked, then many people will see that as a motivation to use the platform because that will boost their confidence.

Even if I were to agree to your statement, what sort of promotional method is that? Do you think stakes would really pay a celebrity to promote their services by losing with huge amounts like that one, and then publicizing it??

Are they not supposed to create some sort of enticing view of rich bonuses and chances of winning huge to get their desired traffic?? Is this supposed to be a "reverse in phycology thing" or what?
No matter how you look at it, this is an alleged news and I can rate is just like the truth.... I'm not also gonna sniff the air to see how much information I can get... It is what it is.

I don't think this is a form of advertisement to lure gamblers to be using stake casino. Drake has been known to be an addictive gamblers for long now. He always bet on different sport especially when it involves his friends in the competition. He is a rich guy will knowledge in gambling. Gambling is fun to those that have the funds to bet on any game they are interested in. I am very surprised whey we always know about most of his loses but when it comes to his winnings, we don't have a clue. He has been a good gambler that always gamble for what he wanted without bothering on whether he lose or win.

Something tells me he is not using his money to gamble too because at the rate that he is losing, someone who have told him to slow down but he is not slowing down but keeps on increasing his bets and some of the bets are just wired because he is siding with the least favourite side to win. Like the last time he bet on Canada to win Argentina. That was a wired bet to me regardless of him coming from Canada but you can not pick them to win Argentina that was in great form, winning every team that comes their way. If he is using his own money, he has alot of it too so the small amount that he is using as wager should not make him broke soon but he should relax before he gets so addicted that he can not stop when the partnership stops. With his constant losing, people now bet against his pick.

Actually, I have not seen any of his bets that he won, all the ones I have seen are the ones he lost, does it mean that Drake is not winning?
However, he's an ambassador in stake, which means he have commission and most of the money he's gambling with might be free money or part of the money he received from stake as partnership with them. Moreover he have money because he's a celebrity, whichmeans the money that he's losing are small money and he also have a lot of assets.

Exactly, Drake wants to keep on gambling to bring more attention to him on how rich he is and losing to huge amount of money to gamble. I hope that some people will not imitate him and think that it is the best thing to do by gambling with huge amounts of money because they will lose it and might necome frustrated because they cannot afford to let go of the money. But Drake is a business man and has investments here and there which makes losing not a problem to jim because he can make more money to recover his losses kn just two days.

If you are earning more than what you've been losing, then I think there's nothing wrong that. What is wrong is that if he keep losing more than his overall total income. Though we have seen how heavy gambler Drake is, but that is because he is also in a gambling livestream and is earning a lot. So people like him will not be scared losing a lot when gambling, because he'll definitely earn it back afterwards.

I got more interested in the part where you said that marketing has gone beyond what we use to know. Advertisers and content managers are very creative in finding the surest means of drawing attentions on social media. Also, people go as far as framing themselves to be dead, lie, naked themselves in fact they are ready to do anything that will make them trend. To them that is the fastest way to gain clout and attention. These may be one strategy Drake is using to market stake and if that is true then it was successful.
