The Drake's Curse.

[alastantiger]

Rapper Drake lost $850,000 on Logan Paul's fight with Dillon Danis - despite backing the right man to win. Paul took on Danis over six rounds last night alongside KSI's defeat by Tommy Fury in Manchester. Paul dominated the first five rounds before Danis was disqualified in the final session for attempting to choke out his rival. Paul was declared the winner - but not by knock out as Drake had predicted. The rapper, who is seen as something of a curse given his poor gambling record, had staked $850,000 (£700,000) on Paul to win by stoppage and would have collected $1.3million (£1m) had he been successful.

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?

[Wiwo]

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.

[Oshosondy]

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.

[EL MOHA]

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  

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  

[mvdheuvel1983]

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.

[bittraffic]

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.

[mindrust]

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.

[Frankolala]

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.

[cabron]

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.

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

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.

[Gozie51]

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.

[Slow death]

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.

What do the gambling folks have to say about this?

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.
