There is no point feeling bad for Drake because he is rich and can afford to lose this amount without feeming any form of agitation. I might not know his worth but I do believe that the amount he lost is something he will not cry over.

Many people were actually thinking Anthony Joshua will lose the match for reasons that are not too clear to me.. However, Joshua have proven to them that he is still the champion that he is. He proved it in the match as he was fierce, direct and ruthless. It was an interesting match anyway.

For someone who do able to beat up Fury then it would be normal that they would be assuming that beating up Joshua wouldnt really be that hard but we've seen the different outcome on here.  

As for loses of Drake then this $600k is nothing.We've seen several bets he made which is more than with this. He wont really be making up such huge bets if he cant be able to afford.
It is really just that too amazing to see that someone could make up that huge bet but considering on Drake net worth and all the money that he do earns on different sources
then these are just mere amounts. He could be able to patch it up without any hardship.

Its his money then no matter how big he would be spending out then its none of our business. lol

With such regularity of loosing large bets on big sports events, I might even think of placing the opposite bet Drake does. This looks like a pattern already. Look what Drakes bets on and do different.

You might as well be lucky to win when you get on the opposite team that he placed his bet on, or you might also be unlucky if that very match turns out to be his lucky game too. 
 
There are also a few matches that he has been able to win out of when he places a big amount on them, but it seems like the media seems to use his big name and personality to make the once's he loses a trend; bad news seems to spread faster than the good ones that they are supposed to join him and celebrate.
 
I remember his last big win, which was publicised, and the title was Drake, which seems to have been lifted as a title of such nature to draw people's attention to the post.

That’s just kind of massive, but am not shocked by the news, we know how drake have been losing huge amount of money on gambling, so this is another one, I don’t think the most lost is going to have any serious effect on him, because am sure he will have won some huge amount of money which nobody will know about, people only talk whenever he loses huge amounts of money, and we know drake is having multiple sources of income where he is making good amounts of money, don’t be surprise that when their is another fight, the amount he will gamble with will be more than the one which he lost recently, so when people like this lose, it doesn’t have much impact on them.

I'm not sure if someone in the thread commented like this, but for me that bet might be part of paid partnership negotiations with Stake and Drake. It could be free bet and in addition to that Stake.com will give another payment for advertising. This is how most casinos work when it comes to advertising. And I consider that bet as decoy so that some bettors will tail that bet. These are just my thoughts. How about you?

I haven't commented on the thread, but when I read through the whole conversation and knew that Drake is partnered with the casino where the bet was placed, it then built up that mixed feeling in me about whether or not the bet was actually a paid by a player bet or just part of his influencing allocation that he can bet with and with this amount in lose, indeed Drake and stake already made headlines which is part of the marketing deal between the two, because no sports bettor in their right sense will stake 615,000 dollars bet on a fighter he knows have no records of consistent winnings compared to the opponent records.

I have heard the news that since Drake has an affiliation with Stake, this news might just be a publicity strategy. It is a promotional tool where Drake uses his publicity to attract customers to Stake. But this loss is small compared to the worth of the musician. I think he can afford to lose such an amount that is what he comfortably staked it. This is not the first time Drake is engaging in such a bet, there are also times that he wins. The moral of this story is to always gamble according to our size. We should compare ourselves with Drake. I have heard people say that it is not bad to stake with large funds after all Drake lost a fortune. The question should be 'Are you as wealthy as these celebrities?'

It might not be a bad marketing strategy, but I see it as deceptive. Many people see Drake as a role model, which might propel them to gamble recklessly. Advertisements should be built on truth and not blue lies.

Yes, he probably got some of the money back, but I don't think we'll ever know because it brings more attention when someone wins or loses big. If he happened to lose the casino's money many people would feel like it was all fake.
Let's imagine for a moment that I borrow your bitcoin and sell it to you, then I tell everything how much money I made and to prove it sign a message with your address, but in reality I just give it back to you. How is that different from what Drake and Stake are doing?

[wheelz1200]

Peanuts to Drake.  He is a known high rolling gambler.  I was shocked too how well Joshua fought considering Ngannou's first professional boxing match went.  Don't kmwo if he had an off night or Joshua had a great night.  Either way that's like noelrmal people losing $100 on the match lol.

[FinneysTrueVision]

One day Drake will accidentally stumble into a winning long shot bet and earn his money back. Actually, I don’t think he is really losing this much money. He is paid to endorse the casino and might not be playing with his own money. Unless he has a severe gambling addiction, it’s no big deal to make these kind of bets because what he makes for promoting the casino is enough to cover his losses even if they were out of pocket.

I was serious when I have asked if someone remember that Drake has ever won big in gambling. It is either he is very unlucky, or media only stress attention his losses, because people love to see when rich and famous people fail.

So on how you would really be able to follow Drakes bet? Usually those big bets would really be the ones be considered or would be news out or would really be that broadcasted but to those smaller ones then it would be
hard to follow on. Making counter bets on what Drake is betting on? Well this is something that good to consider out.  

We've seen his big loses which had been posted into this forum or on media on which it is really something that we do thought too that it was a sure win.
If we do tend to follow his bets then i dont really know if it would be that possible.Unless if has some streams and make or give those kind of tips
on where he would really be putting up his bets.

This was more like an accidental idea to do, but did not he post in his social media his large bets to show off? We get it from the news because he lose and media wants to get attention with that. But I think if we follow his instagram, we might get some pictures of where he is, who are around him and etc. That might be little hints of what kind of bet he has made. Or he might even post a betslip himself. I mean it is not like he post a picture after the event with idea «look how much I have lost».

it's actually funny how he got carried away with Frances Ngannou's cheap talks on social media against AJs furious calmness that needs to be studied. Well, it's just an unlucky day for the legend and in the past he has made stakes like this which he has won some and lost out in others and I feels it wouldn't be a big deal for him.

This should send a strong message to those that concluded that Anthony Joshua was afraid of Frances due to his calm and reserved nature prior to the fight that boxing isn't done with mouth. After your rants and talking and showoffs, you will get to the ring to prove those bunch of shots you've been thrashing out and it's just sad he couldn't take it up to the third round. Like, I knew AJ was going to thrust him big time in the fight but kicking his ass within such space of time was a totally definaion of "we are damn not on the same level, bro.

Drake is known for this kind of attitude in gambling as he have been betting huge amount if he likes the fight/game .

But this is one sudden loss because Ngannou is the favorite in this bout to be beating Anthony Joshua but the opposite thing happened .

But I'm sure that Drake will get this amount and even more in the next coming bet he will be having so this is not that big thing for this super famous celebrity .

They have been partners for years already and it could be true that maybe it is Stake money for promotion. Or Drake getting a cut if ever he won, so there's a lot of speculation from behind as Drake is known to be a big bettor. It's not that Drake cannot afford to bet with that kind of money, but he has been doing this for years when he got under the Stake banner and it's hard to think that a big whale was able to sustain this kind of bet. He also stream roullette with huge bet as well like every week and then give some around $20k as a raffle for his fans. Just bad if someone fall for the curse of Drake and follow his bet because you are going to lost big money already.

He can get that easily with his one tweet. I don't know how much he is charging for each post or tweet but that's basically a normal rate for personalities like him.

The more famous celebrities are even charging a million dollar for just one tweet of advertisement and that's why if it's just about getting the amount back.

This is easy money for him and he won't gamble that much if he knows he can't take it back with whatever he's had for his sources.

‘God’s Plan’ apparently was not destined to come true. I honestly don’t understand why super stars of this level would make these bets. Is it really all for the sake of adrenaline, I almost don’t believe it. It probably all comes down to an advertisement for the bookmaker where he made this stunning bet. In addition, they began to publish about him more often in news feeds. He probably knew about this, that they would talk and write about it in any case, regardless of loss or win. Because any headline will ring loudly. And the rest of the bookmakers began to wonder why they didn’t offer him to do this earlier in their establishment to get such advertising.

Still, this is a lot of money, ordinary players can’t wrap their heads around it, and while they think or laugh at Drake, he will earn this amount by performing at a private party, spending one evening on it.

He will also earn from betting, if that was sponsored by a specific casino, they might have an agreement and that betslip might not be true. Drake has partnered with stake, so that means he is not betting to beat stake but betting to gain the attention of the people to sign up on the casino. It's just probably a marketing strategy, we should not take it seriously like he really loss that big amount of money.

[danherbias07]

Well, this is normal for Drake to bet such huge amounts. He will get it back in no time.
I think the hype about Francis Ngannou was too much after his fight against Tyson Fury. Yes he defended well against Fury and he even knocked him down but the game was too much on the safety because Fury is also being careful. Now, it's different when it's Joshua, he will definitely attack.

Dana White has something to say about the Ngannou fight.
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10112422-dana-white-rips-ex-ufc-star-francis-ngannou-after-knockout-in-anthony-joshua-fight

"I saw it on social media," UFC president Dana White said about the knockout, per MMA Fighting's Damon Martin. "Going into the Fury fight, if Fury trained for the fight and didn't show up and look like he ate Tyson Fury, that's probably the way that fight would have ended, too."

"You know how I feel about crossovers into boxing," White added. "That's how they end. Just like that."

I don't think Francis will just give it up after that KO. But that will give him a good idea of how the heavyweights are fighting and how strong their punches are so he must keep his guard up. He may need to strengthen his chin too.
I never made a bet for this crossover match, it's all entertainment so it's not the match that I am looking for to be excited about.

In a networth situation where he worths 250 million, that basically means that's his daily change. One day he could wake up being a million dollars richer by getting some payment from some of the deal that he did. This could could make that from a single concert as well, he is capable of holding a huge event at some big place, like maybe Las Vegas, make a deal with a casino, or any other place really, and have thousands of people there, or better yet these people make the most money when they do a whole tour.

Look at Taylor Swift, she did a whole tour with like 150+ places which resulted with over a billion dollars in income, not saying Drake would make the same, but imagine doing 150+ concerts, even Drake would be able to make tens of millions easily, just pure profit, revenue wise he could make hundreds of millions.

You might be right on this, that Drake is only marketing for stake with his huge bets. From my own point of view, I don't see it like that, because we have seen several fights that Drake bets on, and I will say that assuming Drake won the bet, you will not sound like this. Gambling is in Drake and he loves Gambling.

The amount that to many of us is a big amount, might just be an amount that Drake can afford to lose, since we know that he is a billionaire, and he gats investments and skills that pays him constantly. If I was Drake, I will always bet against my instinct in a fight because he is always betting on the losers most time, and I don't know what confidence he have in them

There are many other celebrities apart from drake that are known for staking huge bets. But my question is that did he flaunt his bet online before the match between Anthony Joshua and Ngannou because i know that if he did announce his bet publicly, then certainly a lot of people must have also ran into losses as well, you know some persons like following Celebrities and influential people so in a situation like this you see so many people also trying to take same risk he took without knowing that these celebrities has several sources that generates income for them and even if they lose bets like this they wouldn't feel it at all unlike some folks that will follow him and end up losing their money when they don't have many source of income.
