Drake curse still not lifted.

[GHOTO11]

The word “curse” comes up again when you look at Drake’s bet, because it really is a story. However, it is important to separate the outcome of the match and the terms of the bet. His bet was not that Argentina would win the World Cup in the end; it was that Argentina would win within the stipulated 90 minutes. The match was goalless at the time, so his $1.5 million bet was lost before extra time even started. Later, Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute to give Spain a 1–0 win.
So blaming Drake for Spain’s victory may be an interesting discussion, but it is not a realistic explanation. Spain had more control of the match, defended strongly, and created chances. Their situation became even more difficult after Argentina’s Enzo Fernandez was sent off. These on-field events determined the outcome, not any individual’s bet.

He's prob down millions of dollars so fading him would have paid off big

He was smart, he saw that Argentina was playing terribly and cashed out before the match ended. He made the right decision, because otherwise he would have lost much more.

I thought the bet was already lost, so if he cashed out, at least he did not lose everything and only minimized his loss.

But I did not know he was that clever. What if the result had gone the other way and Argentina won after he cashed out? I wonder how he would have felt about that.

This cash-out feature can really help if you use it at the right time, especially when you are watching the game. The problem is that we cannot predict the result correctly every time. But I guess that is not really the main issue here because people are talking about the Drake curse. Argentina lost, and it was more than a $1.5 million bet.

That loss probably also hurt many other bettors who did not care about cashing out and simply trusted Argentina all the way.

I didn't know that Drake, cashed out after he must have seen that Argentina, wasn't going to win the game, his cash out was a smart move otherwise he would have lost everything, this is why I always say that cash out before a game is over is not a terrible decision even if the game later played to your bet. Still he would lose a lot of money despite the cash out and I hope that it was what he could afford to lose otherwise it would still be painful because it was a lot of money. I guess that he beat his curse halfway this time by cashing out which turned out to be a saver for him. Gambling is risky and if you cannot go all the way to see a game through you can limit your risk by cashing out which Drake, did.

This rapper and stake ambassador, who has been known to be making bets with large sums and bets that always end up playing opposite of what he staked, still made another bet with $1.5M on Argentina to win this just-concluded final, and just as expected, the game ended against Argentina, and Spain won them by 1 goal.

Choosing Argentina is not a mistake when the match has not yet started, as Argentina is not a weak team. Observing their statistics since the Brazil World Cup certainly illustrates the type of team they are, so selecting them is undoubtedly done by many other bettors as well. Drake's loss is normal because bettors will experience that, whoever they are, and as an Ambassador, he will certainly consider how to make the gambling site that employs him more famous, and one of the ways is like this

and he is in net loss of million dollars.  So Drake really not a profitable sports bettor, at least that is based on the source I've seen.
But despite that, he still makes stake popular, because his losing bets gain much attention to the public.

📉 He's currently down $3.06M all-time from his public sports bets.
For some reason I thought that number would be much higher

I hope you know he’s not talking about Drake here. He is referring to his friend who also bet on Argentina to win the match.
I think making bad bets is the promotional strategy Drake and his team have coined for themselves, and it’s working. Bad news goes viral quickly, and nothing pleases the public more than seeing a rich guy lose money.

We do not know if the figures are completely accurate, but at least we now have something to discuss.

It also seems to confirm that he is really a losing bettor. Still, if the amount he lost was actually his own money, it may not mean much compared to his total net worth.

Maybe the excitement is only on our side because we are not betting millions. For someone who earns millions easily, that kind of loss could feel like pocket change. Sorry, that might be a bit exaggerated, but you get the point.

...

Also, Argentina played so bad that it makes me believe Drake's curse is a fact. Because it does not have any other explanation.

Man, I wish I had better knowledge of football, because I want to confidently refute what you just said. But since I don't, I'll 'try' to refute, look I have read a good number of comments related to football during last week or so and judging from those comments (plus, Spain being favorite in final in betting market too by a good margin) gives me idea that Argentina wasn't that good to begin with.

...

...

I lost the bet (which I made based on reason), but I won the night, because in my heart I was rooting for a Spain victory (Argentina, enemy forever). In the end... my feelings were balanced between the money I lost and the joy of not seeing Argentina lift another trophy.

Lmao. I know that feeling well because I did similar in cricket tournament about a year back.

People have said here that they dont believe in superstitious, but believe in drake curse The page mirakal posted that Drake has lost only 3 millions. For a person who gamble often and for a person with income that he has, its close to nothing. I think some of us have even worse win/lose ratio than Drake Bookes saw Spain as favorite, Drake has chosen a more risky bet. Dont consider lost as curse.

[SamReomo]

What made me bring this here is someone said on meta that  the moment Drake's bet slip started trending online he lost hope for Argentina he cashed out his already staked game, that even if there were chances for them to win, that curse following Drake around wouldn't let them win. Lol.

That's a funny thing, Argentina lost not because Drake place his bet in favor of it but because Spain was in good condition and they were most likely to win the World Cup. I feel bad for that guy Drake, he always loses his bets, I think he doesn't research well and somehow his luck is also not good at betting. He always loses huge amounts and get huge attention from the public.

Well, I don't know but from the information available to me, Drake did choose a risky bet but he was sensible enough to use a cashout when he possibly saw that Argentina doesn't have a chance against Spain, so what ever amount of money he used to place the bet on that match, he definitely didn't loose it all, he saved some of that money by cashing out early.

And speaking of some us of all having a worser lose/win ratio, you are absolutely right, we are here discussing about drake choosing to get on Argentina in the world Cup finals when Spain was the favourite, and no body is talking about other persons who also did choose Argentina over Spain, clearly drake wasn't alone in the curse (if anything like that does exist), but a lot of us were victims of the same curse as well.

I totally agree with your opinion, Drake is just a gambling promoter, and it looks like he's doing it in reality, but that's not what I think it is. And even if he was lucky and won this bet, they would write about it everywhere, search for information about him, the casino where he played and made this bet, follow his referral link and all this would bring him much more. Therefore, these 3 million do not mean anything to him, and people often think from the same headline and from news feeds, although it is worth analyzing the situation more deeply.

[IsraelK]

Before the the Argentina Vs Spain started it was a friend that showed me this bet by Drake in favour of Argentina and she talked about taking the chance to place her own bet for Argentina since Drake could have the confidence to stake such huge funds on them to win the WC. But since I knew about the Drake curse from previous discussions in this forum about the influencer and how his bets has always go in the opposite, I just calmly told her it's already a lost game for Argentina even before they starting, because Drake has never had a bet that favoured his selection team.

You were 100% right to warn her, fading the "Drake Curse" is practically a strategy at this point!
He dropped a massive $1.5 million on Argentina to beat Spain in the World Cup Final, chasing a $5.1 million return. As soon as that slip went public on social media, you knew Argentina was in trouble. Spain taking it 1-0 in extra time just added another multi-million dollar entry to his loss streak. 
It’s crazy to see wagers that size floating around, but it highlights why so many high-stakes bettors  use Bitcoin-betting to Stake.

If casinos or public figures use this and continue to do so, then they are benefiting from it. Just like that, even if he really made such huge bets, and it did not bring him any benefit, he could do it privately and not show his bets to everyone. And it is obvious that this brings general benefits to everyone who participates in this, from the public figure to the casino.

But despite that, he still makes stake popular, because his losing bets gain much attention to the public.

on the website it is even explained that his success rate in betting is only 36.4% and this already indicates that he is a pretty lousy bettor with a large amount of money.

For this we know that Drake still has allegations of promos one of the big sites but at this time the allegations are still unconfirmed. But a loss of 3 million more for Drake's size feels as normal as it seems because for big influencers like him this bet is only a fraction of the total income he has.
We will see more buzz from Drake but we can also bet for on the opponent's side because sometimes this becomes worth it with the curse he has.

[Hatchy]

Has Lionel Messi been ‘cursed’ by $1.5m bet? Drake reveals World Cup final wager ahead of Argentina vs Spain - with support from rap superstar not always appreciated before you know it some narrative by Argentina 🇦🇷 fans might start flying and pointing fingers to Drake as reason to why they lost to Spain 🇪🇸.

The drakes curse is just something made up by the public, which inreality doesn't exist. The superstar drake for years now keeps betting but to no avail and sometimes I just feel like he's into promoting the brand stake as an ambassador and yes jot actually betting. This is just my thoughts though, but it makes no sense that almost every bet he posted lost, were from one casino. It seems like he just doesn't make plans for his gambling and just wants to put up a show. It's very normal for him now to lose those bets without thinking twice. And if he's always losing, why does he still gambles? We already knew that Spain had an upper hand on the final match, so most gamblers who played blindly that day and bet on Argentina instead lost a lot of money..

[Bitcoin.com97]

This many sound funny ,but I don't gamble because a celebrity stake high and have confidence in the game,I know how many times it failed me , because I followed one guy on Twitter and his a high staker ,but I end up losing most of my bet because I believe in his stake ,ever since them I don't do such ,I look at my stats ,do my analysis carefully before betting ,even if I lost I don't have to blame anyone for my failure , because sometimes the people you hope on or trust ,still may not get things right the way you expected it .

On a serious note, gambling base on other people's decision of the games is not even advisable because they may not have done their analysis critically as you would have done. It doesn't matter who's involved, be it a celebrity influencer it doesn't guarantee such a bet to be successful. Some of them even fake it just to promote the gambling company which they may be representing secretly. It's really stupid  because you might develop some unexplainable confidence on the game that you can go ahead staking high about your limit because of your confidence of the source it's coming from.

This is what many has failed understand,I have seen many people on Twitter who will stake a bet with huge amount , screenshot it and post on Twitter for people to see how much confidence they have in the games meanwhile they cash out their money immediately after taken the screenshot,maybe use small amount to bet and those gullible people will start looking for where to borrow money and stake because an influencer or celebrity stake with big amount ,it's good to work with your instincts and not follow whatever you see on social media,that has failed many and lead some into addiction.

Its Laughable if people are thinking Argentina and Messi lost because Drake placed a bet on Argentina to win the World Cup, I don’t think there is anything such as a curse on Drake placing a bet on any team, and that team ends up losing, people can have different views and superstitions about a turn of events.

Football works in a very mysterious way, which is why sometimes you struggle to predict the outcome of a football game, Drake betting on Argentina wasn’t a bad bet, he was looking at the favorites, and Argentina was the favorite to win the World Cup after France, when Argentina got to the Final they became favorites because of Messi and Argentina also being a defending Champion in the World Cup, there are factors he considers before betting on Argentina to Win.

Anyone who watched Spain against France in the World Cup, and have a good understanding about football you’ll immediately know that Argentina is going to struggle against Spain, Spain was the better team in the Tournament, and they went under the radar, nobody noticed them until the Semi Final against France, they were more like an Underdog.

I also feel bad for Drake and I also feel bad for myself for also believing on Argentina to Win.

[AHOYBRAUSE]

I wouldn't call it a curse since he is often betting the underdog to win. So when the chance of him is already only like 40% or less, why do people make a big deal out of it and call it a curse when he loses? Makes no sense.
Also, after all I still believe this is all fake money since he is a stake rep. They want him to make big bets like this and posting them publicly. It's all a big advertisement, not more and not less.
If he wins they can market it as "look how much he won, this could be you". And if he loses it's all a curse so they basically urge people to bet against him. Smart marketing.
