The Drake's Curse.

[Blitzboy]

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

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

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

[aioc]

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.  

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

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

What do the gambling folks have to say about this?

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

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

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

Otherwise, it is just a shot in the darkness.

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?

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

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

[dothebeats]

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

[darkangel11]

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.

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

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

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

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

[passwordnow]

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

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.

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

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

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

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

[Davidvictorson]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wrong, he was DQ because of his acts.

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

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

[AHOYBRAUSE]

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

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

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

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

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

What do the gambling folks have to say about this?

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

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

[davis196]

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