The Drake's Curse.

[danherbias07]

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

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?

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

[Cookdata]

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

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

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

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

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

[STT]

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

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

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

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

[ralle14]

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

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

[Yogee]

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

[Oilacris]

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.

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

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

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

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

[OgNasty]

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

[Kelvinid]

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

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

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

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

[CODE200]

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

[FinneysTrueVision]

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.

[Outhue]

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

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

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

What do the gambling folks have to say about this?

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

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

[michellee]

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

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

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

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.

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