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...

[Nwada001]

Drake has been known to make large bets on single matches, and most of the time he loses and some times he wins. He won't be the only person who loses money in this fight, as a lot of people were convinced that Francis Ngannou was going to win this match as the odds were against Antony Joshua. 
 
The fight took the fans by surprise, as the result was not what they all expected. Both fighters have made history in the past, and no matter how strong they both appear to be, one must submit to the other. 
 
Some news and fan feeds are already carrying the news that the Drake curse is back again, and this could be the reason why he lost $615,000, which, if the fight was as he predicted, could have gone home with $1,900,000. It's not his first big loss; we get over it.

[letteredhub]

It's the infamous drake again and am not shocked as he's very known for a history of serial gambling losses, although I feel sad for his loss. However, am sure despite how much huge the amount he stakes with was big for some of us, to him Drake it's an amount he can afford to lose going by his financial status and record.

Ngannou was a classical disappointment as many fans had lots of faith in him to pull some strings but he could even go pass a two round and got knocked down by a single punch from Anthony Joshua in the second round that got him glue to the ground.

[dothebeats]

Drake could easily shoulder this loss. That man is worth hundreds of millions, and there is a high possibility that that bet is sponsored by Stake to invite other sports bettors to bet on the bout. Drake betting on something is already a good publicity to Stake regardless of whether they pay him to bet or not. Just another day in the office, I'd say. He can get that $600k in a few shows and gigs so he can count that as his 'leisure expenses' any day.

[Maus0728]

Wow, that's just a surprising thing to happen, a lot of people have been talking about the punching power of Ngannou and it seems that it's not enough for a veteran fighter like Anthony Joshua, I'm sure that Drake's fine with that money lost, it's probably a small amount of money compared to what he's net worth so we don't have to be too sad about him losing that amount of money but still, it seems that Joshua isn't a showman because he quickly finished the match and it's such a performance too albeit a short one. Props to Ngannou for fighting even though it's a KO, he'll definitely be picking up after himself but will definitely move on and improve, his instincts in boxing are ever sharpening after all.

[bittraffic]

He is just one of us. I can't believe it from the start, I was trying to enjoy the fight so after round 1 I sat in front of the TV hoping for Ngannou's win. Its a good thing that the error Maximum Limit pops every time I bet bigger than usual.

Ohno. I feel like more of those from Dana's side are going to troll Ngannou this time. I can see how this is going to make the memes flood.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

Drake is known to play more than $1 million in one spin in a roulette games for those who didn't know. So just imagine him having a losing streak with that huge bet of him. Stake has to make a special arrangement for him as the max bet for a bet in roulette is $350,000.

So in this bet, this is just a "Chump change" for him. However, since he is a will known personality, everyone will magnify this lost for Drake and maybe make some internet meme again.
For regular gamblers like the majority of us, we can only dream of putting that bet.

[acroman08]

sounds like it was a bad day for him but seeing his previous losses that have been reported, I am not surprised he bet this much money and I am sure it won't be the last.

• 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

regarding his losses, the most famous one I know is when he lost $1 million in Argentia vs France FIFA World Cup Finals. it was wild the first time I heard about it, that guy is crazy.

So the Drake curse continues...

perhaps he needs to start using his alter ego Anita Max Wynn every time he is betting. joking aside, I wonder if people started being superstitious about it, what I mean is people betting on the opponent of the team Drake put his bet on.

You can not compare Anthony Joshua to Francis Ngannou because Francis Ngannou has just started boxing starting with Fury. Because of his performance with Fury was the reason people thought Anthony Joshua would lose to him, but you people forgot that Anthony Joshua has been a boxer since many years ago while Francis Ngannou was not. Anthony Joshua has more boxing experience.

He's not the only one so many people take the risk of betting on Ngannou, I just found out through a friend that my office mate lost his two months' salary for betting Ngannou that he would knock out Joshua, now he has to take a loan to cover his bills and expenses at home.

Drake has a run of huge losses in main events it seems he is not lucky in gambling but this is nothing for Drake he can always get that amount with endorsement and concerts.
Drake is one example that there is no guarantee in gambling and if you bet be sure to bet what you can afford to lose.

[salad daging]

Drake is not surprised that losing again this large amount is often in the media because it will attract bettors, while Drake is a casino ambassador so he will definitely get paid back for losing the money.

I saw some footage of this fight on Twitter Anthony Joshua knocked Ngannou down so badly that he was completely defenseless to the punches.

back on Drake's bet he will be very bold with the big amount bet he will never even stress with losing so much money in the casino.

If you checked the records of these two boxers before the match yesterday you will agree that Joshua wasn't someone we should expect would loose that match he's has got very good record over ngannou so I don't know what ever it was the reason why drake prefer to place his bet on ngannou rather than Joshua, I've known before now that Joshua has got more chances than ngannou had but then maybe he was just been fanatic about it and that aswell affected his choice upon which he did placed his bet.

Drake is wealthy and has got the money of which I would say he actually gambled for fun so it will not really be a problem to him loosing such money at once but the such amount actually is really huge, but compared to his worth it may not really have much effect on him, he may recover it sooner.

[electronicash]

so much for trusting Ngaannou to deliver. i am disappointed too since i was betting for Franc to win. but $615k is just a huge amount of money. i wouldn't want to replay to watch again because it hurts. i and banking for Francis to make it in boxing and be a champ.  it would be a good story of his life. anyway, hope he will fight again.

at least thinking about Drake's loss compared to mine makes me think i'm not the worst gambler.

$600k+ is nothing if we do speak about loses.
Lets check this one out;

Total Wins: CA$106.3 million ($79.1 million)
Total Losses: CA$46.1 million ($34.2 million)
Source

Those numbers are really that could make you drool up on how much have won and lost and based up on those numbers then it do clearly shows
that he's still that on positive. So these kind of puny loses wont really be affecting him in the end of the day.
This is why its called gambling or betting and there would really be no assurance that you would really be able to have that sure win thing.
Whether he's been funded (unlikely) on the time that he do made out some bets or coming from his own personal money then no one really knows
but in general on which we do know that Drake is a heavy gambler.

Anthony sure has alot of boxing experience because he knocked out Francis with a wonderful right hand punch that sent him down gasping for Oxygen.
I would have placed my bet on Francis because he has more current wins as compared to his counter part who has lost more than once on separate occasions.
It was a really interesting match and we await who Anthony gets to fight next. I hope it's a knockout too.

[Gozie51]

Lol... But drake isn't a worst gambler himself, he is probably in an outing for the weekend and enjoying himself with friends because he is worth the money that he is using to bet and betting as he can afford as fun. That is the difference with the wealthy betting and probably those who gamble only for the profit and when they don't succeed, they either begin to ask for crowdfunding to replace the money that they have used to bet. However, Ngannou disappointed many of his supporters but I never thought Joshua would give in that easy, alas he won.

Haha, so what do you do when you lose?

Well everyone have high hopes that Ngannou will really win because he gives a solid fight against Tyson Fury which is the top of their division.

This is the difference between training with Tyson and not since he is facing an experienced boxer which is not his original sports. I believe he becomes over confident that he can dominate anyone with sheer strength due to his successful debut with gypsy king.

Regarding Drake, Obviously this is just a minimal loss since I watch him losing million dollar on a single round bet on his roulette live games before.

[Queentoshi]

Drake lost $615000.

There are also many gamblers who lost some amount of money betting on Francis to win the fight because the Bookmakers considered him the underdog in the fight and give him more odds to win, and he looked like the best choice to win the fight going into the fights judging from his very fierce look.

Regarding Drake, Obviously this is just a minimal loss since I watch him losing million dollar on a single round bet on his roulette live games before.

Until the day he bets with like $20 million, and then loses, I will not see all this amount of money he is losing now as something he cannot afford to lose.

After all Drake is not dumb, because when you look at his position as an artist and how many sources gaining money he has, his biggest bets won’t even effect his daily spendings, $615k loss is nothing to him compared to us as simple gamblers. It’s important to not follow anyone’s bettings choices or the amount of money you put on a bet just because you saw drake or any famous gambler sharing his bet with a large amount.

If you see drake over all bets a month or two before, we surely going to see huge wins as well. Talking about the fight between Joshua and Ngannou which was a different experience and a chance for gamblers to take a part and prove their knowledge by gambling on their favorite fighter, however this is a different experience when the fighter changed his sport and style of fighting, personally I wouldn’t risk that much of money on something not certain of.
