We all know on how Drake is notoriously famous with these kinds of high roll bets. Well with that amount of money that he earns through his music, businesses and other ventures, I am pretty sure that $615,000 is nothing to him or at least a relatively low amount of money for him.

Despite the situation, I do feel bad that he has lost so much money on several bets that he made on sports. For example:

• Drake made a bet of $400,000 when he betted that Jake Paul would knock Tommy Fury on their match- he lost that bet;
• During the world cup final, Drake betted $1,000,000 hoping that Argentina would beat France- he lost that bet again;
• On the UFC, Drake also betted $275,000 hoping that Masvidal would beat Covington- he again lost that bet;¹

..... and so on.

Though that may be the case, there were also some instances were he also won his bets and he almost wagered every game on Stake. It just sucks to lose this amount of money in a short amount of time. Makes you think that people are willing to stake this hundreds to millions of dollars on sports betting.

That's gamble for you, as a gambler you should be expecting two things either you lose or you win, though none of these things I mentioned is guaranteed but either if them is bound to happen, though no matter how rich drake is, if a bettor loses in his or her bet it is not an easy thing, but I know for sure that this is not his first time of losing bet but this may be the first time his lost is being announced, gamblers absolved shock more than anyone so shit happens.
Drake has been winning so that's gambling for you, you don't expect fortunes all the time sometimes you lose too so that you will understand that it is gambling not an investment.

Many people  thought that Francis would be the one to win the game because of his appearance and the confidence he showed to people concerning the game. Before the game looking at Anthony Joshua it was as if he looks nervous and even the last game he lost to the Mexican guy made many people to look less of him . Anthony Joshua was so quiet about the fight  but it was a huge surprise to see that Anthony Joshua was able to defeat Francis ngannou without any stress. For those who bet the game on Anthony Joshua to win the game are so lucky to win, that means they so much believe in Anthony Joshua.

Too bad, I think everyone here as well thought that Francis Ngannou will pull an upset win against the Brit. But Joshua didn't want to happen and as if this is a tailor fight for him to win in that dominant fashion. Not the first time that he have heard Drake bet on a fight or sports and losses big money,

• Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury fight: Drake loses $400,000 after betting on Paul to knock out Fury.
• Drake LOSES another $250,000 after betting on Nate Diaz to beat Jake Paul

So the Drake curse continues...

He loves betting on the underdog and probably fine with losing a lot of money (maybe fore us).

Based on what I read...

Drake has a net worth of $250 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.

So I would say that there's nothing so alarming with his bets as surely he can afford to lose what he bet so far. Also, it's just his losses were publicized, how about his wins? Drake continues to make money and probably gambling is just his way of spending money, as long as he has no gambling addiction, everything should be considered as normal.

Drake offers a million dollars for a spin of roulette? I thought some professional players would have to accept a maximum of $350,000. Surely for Drake, this is just a "mosquito"!

It's easy to understand, with someone as famous as Drake, winning and losing can be very confusing, it's mostly fun. A huge bet like this is like "playing for fun", playing with luck with the whole world to see. Who knows, if it gets broadcast all over social networks, it will be even "cooler", right?

But "it's easy to fall when you're tall". If you win, it's explosive, if you lose, it becomes a meme, a show that makes people laugh. Maintaining an "undefeated" image in front of people is also a lot of pressure!

The match really created an impression of "All hype" towards Ngannou. Many people had high hopes from him in this match but it seems that boxing is too much for him especially to face an experienced and dominant fighter which is Joshua. But regarding with Drake's loss, it is somewhat a 'normal' day on his end and to his fans. He have lost multiple times,if not close to this amount, even higher. It is indeed a huge amount to majority of people especially average salary earners but if we would look at his case deeply, he can simply afford it. He's earning tha much that this loss of him won't hurt him financially as much as it should be on our perspective. Also, this is how gambling works. He won't also bet an amount that would crash his bank, assuming that he won't.

And if we would elaborate this, his $615k might be a $500 loss on my end, that it would be hurting for a month but eventually you'd get over it, but still this doesn't promote certainty. He might have a larger risk appetite but that's on his end and I have nothing to do with it. I will just focus on my betting behavior to not engage an amount that will leave me with nothing.

Wow, the truth is that it is a very high amount of money, I don't know how someone can bet so much, if I bet only 5 usd or 10 usd and if I lose it I feel bad, now I bet money like Drake would already have a heart attack, although let's see, Drake is practically an influencer, from what I understand, a person like this earns a lot of money, of course I am not discrediting the fact that what he lost was a small thing, but in reality it is a lot, this is another reason to verify that Predictions in Sports do not Often turn out They are favorable to the fact that they may be what we think , the technical part sometimes fails, it could be that the boxer went something wrong, we don't know what happened, but the truth is that these things happen in boxing, you can have all the preparation possible, the best The hardest but extraordinary training can happen, rarely , but it happens and the result is disastrous for Drake.

I think this money is a lot for anyone, but as they Said before, Drake has many sponsors, he is an influencer and moves masses, this for him is a big but acceptable loss for the Pace of life he leads, this is how the time goes by with Adesanya had a loss that I would call millionaire , but he still recovers and continues betting.

Drake is a perfect example of a rich gambler and some would say that's he is addicted but for him I think this thought can be excused because even that money  is not close to his earning as ten percent and that's why you can't call him gambling addict and one thing, he doesn't gambler on a steady if not it I know losing that kind of funds will definitely affect him even if he is mega super star. Some of these artist just feel the need to gamble and lose out their plenty just for the purpose of fun.

[bitbollo]

Drake can loss this amount without any doubt... this practically does not affect his net worth in any way.
and much probably there are also some agreements with stake....

However, I find these "heavy" bets something un-educational/sad to show.
Watching a wealthy person spending so much money that would change a person's life isn't the best to see.

[PokerBetting]

obviously drake is not a lover or likes to watch boxing matches. because obviously antony joshua is more favored to win this match. and place a crazy bet of more than 600k dollars. surely a wealthy person throws away that much money so easily. but unfortunately before placing a bet he did not first analyze the strength of the two boxers so that he lost easily 600k dollars just disappeared.

[SatoPrincess]

$615k is an outrageous amount to spend on a bet. We also have to consider the networth of the gambler, Drake is extremely rich and can afford to risk that much money. I always hear Drake’s name come up when there are big matches like these, whether it’s the World Cup, UFC fights, or Boxing, the rapper seems to be interested in placing large bets on these events. I can’t tell if he’s doing it for the publicity and lifestyle of being a rich and famous rap star or if he’s really into these sports.

Why is Drake always having the fever of loss? With this recent loss, I have come to a conclusion that anytime Drake bet on anything, I will do the opposite of what he played because he always loss. Somebody should advice him with the way he's playing, he seems addicted and the addiction is not yielding any good results publicly except if u had other games he bets and don't show them to the public but who knows if that one's has been losses too.

However, can we take some minutes to review how this game ended? That game looks stage, the knockout was too obvious and Ngannou wasn't protecting his face from most of the KO tackles that was coming from AJ, what does he get from this if he couldn't win Anthony Joshua and and Tyson Fury, I'm not seeing the use of his body huge, maybe he should try another career.

Wonder how the rich waste such money on gambling and at the end of the day, they're not affected, unlike the average gambler that would gamble with small amount and end up losing, which will drained his accounts. Making such losses doesn't affect him because there's more he's capable of placing, trust me he's not giving because he's a crucial gambler that always shoot higher on achieving his targets. The Canadian rap musician is popularly known for gambling substantial amount on matches and he's acquainted with all the significant sectors of sports.

[Odusko]

Drake 8s gradually losing too much as he recently lose another huge amount and now this one again  any ways he is a Canadian musicians with alot of influencing jobs for various brands whose among them are casinos and sport bookies like stake which may be the major sourch of his gambling funding, so he can bet in any wrong direction he wishnsince he can easily choose Frances over Anthony Joshua who is multiple time title holder, what was he thinking in Nghe first place, because even me who is not an addicted follower of those matches know the capacity of Anthony Jousha so how much more drake who is a streamer with high experience and interest in the game.

Well, he must have been convinced because of the result between Ngannou vs Tyson Fury. That fight made Ngannou so sensational that he convinced anyone to root for him even if he fight against a pro boxer. I couldn't say his boxing career is over but he might be fighting again after his PFL fight.

It was said that he made $20M in this fight alone. That is way more than a win for him than remaining in MMA.

I don't know why people are underestimating the power of Anthony Joshua and we need to look into it very closely. Francis is a good boxer but his problem is that he talks too much. He had been taking since and trying to convince people that he is going to beat and win Anthony Joshua in the fight but I was very surprised that he couldn't even reach the third round. I watched the match and I laughed because upon all his boosting and trying to convince people that he his better than fury then comparing Anthony Joshua with Fury is something we need to look closely because he deserves another punch on his face.

Give me a better reason why Francis Ngannou lost the fight. Don’t tell me he talks too much. For crying out loud, the man is a fighter. Trash talking is part of the business. I didn’t see one interview where Francis Ngannou was disrespectful to Anthony Joshua, it’s normal for boxers to talk about how they are going to knock out their opponent, it’s their own way of playing mind games and gaining media attention to the match. Ngannou lost the fight because Anthony Joshua is a better boxer, he had more to lose, not everyone believed in Joshua and he needed to make a point. And he did.

[Orpichukwu]

So Drake ended up losing this game. I saw this slip on the internet yesterday where people were debating how sure the game was and how Drake made the right bet on the right player judging from the last match with both where Francis won. 
 
This is just one of those games, and it has made the page and headlines; that's just one thing about gambling: the result will keep on surprising you; they can't be the way you predicted it to be always. There was a lot involved here; Anthony is superior to him when it comes to boxing, and Francis Ngannou is an MMA fighter. They both need to know their place.

[Kelward]

A big lose for Drake, the bet was huge, anyways he's supper rich and I guess it's an amount that he can afford to loose, if not then he'll nurse the lose for quite a while and definitely move on. I'm sure that many people will bet against Joshua, winning that fight because they'll believe that Ngannou, will enter the fight to destroy Joshua, to redeem his image after losing to Tyson Fury, in his debut fight. Unfortunately he came short of glory and fell harder this time to a more experienced Anthony Joshua, I felt quite sad when the fight ended, I was hoping that he'd make a name for himself by winning Anthony Joshua.

[goaldigger]

Just like a normal day for Drake and seriously, this is still a small amount of money for him.
Well, we can’t blame Drake because many anticipate that Francis will be the one to win here unfortunately the result turns out different and a loss via knocked out. This could be the problem if you have that much money, you don’t analyze the match anymore and you are just following the hype or someone’s advice.
