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.
Choosing Argentina as champion was not a bad decision in itself, you are right. They played well throughout the tournament and were deserved finalist. But for me the real problem is not the prediction but the decision-making process.
Many people supported Argentina not based on their own analysis. On the contrary, many people placed huge bets in favor of Argentina after seeing Drake's pick. And now they are crying after losing. We can never make a celebrity or influencer's prediction a substitute for our own research. There is no point in following emotion or popularity in betting. Rather it is better to make your decision by analyzing odd, form, tactics, injuries and 3rd eye.
As a brand ambassador of Stake Drake's public bets and gambling content are also basically part of marketing. Stake itself use Drake in promotional campaign to attract new users. So no one should play like monkey see, monkey do with influencers.
