The Drake's Curse.

[Woodie]

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

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

I don't know about being "cursed" but I think he made a logical decision on Logan winning by KO or TKO. He just made a bad choice placing bets on these types of matches where it's more likely to get rigged than real professional boxing.

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

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

[Kakmakr]

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Solosanz]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[bitLeap]

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Edit - Just spotted this in the earlier replies -

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

Exactly my thoughts on it, mate.

[TopTort777]

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

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

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

Has Drake even won one single bet he has made on Stake?

Yes, there's

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

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

[Lida93]

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Z390]

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

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

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