Drake curse still not lifted.

[purple_sparkles]

Most bettors lose more than what they win so should we call of the losers cursed, I don't think so it's just that Drake, is a celebrity that is why he's labeled a cursed bettor, if other bettors are getting the limelight about their bets like Drake, I'm sure that almost all the bettors would be seen as cursed. Another peculiar thing about Drake, is that he makes outrageous bets that many of us cannot begin to imagine ourselves risking such amounts, many of us don't even have that kind of money so seeing somebody lose it many times would seem like the bettor is cursed. If what Drake, loses everytime are amounts that he can afford to lose then we shouldn't worry about his loses or curse or if he's not complaining about his bad luck.

He has earned a lot of money, so he can afford to spend it however he wants. He's not gambling with his last dollars, he has multiple sources of income. It's also quite possible that these huge bets are part of a promotional deal, benefiting both Drake and the bookmakers. I don't think we should be worried about his financial situation, but he's definitely not someone people should try to imitate when it comes to placing bets.

A person is just unlucky, and the public has already come up with a "curse." And if someone else is lucky, it means they are "blessed." That's nonsense. One day he will win and all interest in the "cursed" will immediately disappear, they will say "the curse is lifted" and there is nothing special about him anymore.

The curse is lifted when there's no curse in the first place 

Maybe he should go for spiritual cleansing.

Drake is high gambler because he's rich. He's won some notable bets too but people are more focus on his loses just to make the curse narrative make sense. Obviously, he's often unlucky with most of his bets but it's not cursed. Majority of gamblers are losers but because he's a celebrity and bet with large amount, he's suddenly cursed. Lol

[Taricoins]

It's the high profile effect that's making the "Drake Curse" relevant, he's just as unlucky as any unlucky regular bettor that lose consistently, if drake wasn't popular no one would thought of it like a curse. Whether Drake played that game or not the lose to Spain would've happened, you saw how they outperformed Argentina right?
 
 I'm not someone that's superstitious but I would've believed the curse was real if Argentina had a good performance and Spain won by luck but it was the other way round and Spain merited the victory despite the winning goal coming late. Drake is just an unlucky gambler, that's all i can say.

The funny thing is that Drake's curse concept is still doing the intended marketing job for him and I think it is getting more people drawn to him, He's a brand ambassador and is promoting Stake with his public bets. I have not seen any bets he won public and that does not mean he doesn't win bets, maybe he only publicizes the bets he lost and that reverse marketing is working well for him. We all win and loose, Drake is not an exception.

This is just fact but still could he atleast make 1? We see alot of ambassador nail a prediction even though it's just to advertise but with drake it's always the reverse. With that Argentina's match, I felt like this time around, it would work our according to his prediction but still it still turned out wrong. Maybe I will listen to him the next time and actually stake his prediction the other way round, and I think that's what some people are doing and with that it's a win to the company because it still brings in users

Even if Drake placed a bet on Spain, Spain wouldn't lose because they showed a completely different level of football compared to Argentina. Argentina wasn't simply unlucky, we saw how they were struggling against other teams. Even though they won all matches and they almost scored a goal against Spain and almost made it 1:1, they didn't play football well against Spain and I, as a fan of Argentina and Messi, will say that even if Argentina won that match, it would be very unfair because Spain showed a completely different level, they were possessing the ball entire time and they were the one in attack all the time.

Yeah, in this case for Stake, stories like this might actually be even more useful than Drake winning all the time. Whenever he lose another huge bet, it immediately spread all over social media, people start talking about Drake curse again and same time they’re basically promoting the brand he represents for free. It’s a kind of reverse marketing.

Another thing we really don’t know his full betting record. His public bet are part of his promotional image, so it wouldn’t be fair to judge whether Drake is actually winning or losing overall based only on bet we see.

As for the match itself, I don’t really see any reason to talk about some kind of curse here either.  It was just another coincidence that happened to fit perfectly into the already popular story of the “Drake curse.”

Ofcourse he's won some, I'm not sure about recently so i did a quick research to be sure he's won and found out that out of 88 games that were tracked, he has won 32 and lost 56 times, normally his lose would be greater than the amount of times he won, I don't expect him to be unlucky to had never won any bet.

 You can find that report from https://thedrakecurse.com/ you'll get more informations on the games he played the amount used and the amount he lost, he's never cursed but just unlucky. What if you stake when he happens to be lucky?

Cool website.  I hadn't seen that before.  I'm actually surprised that he's only lost around 3 million dollars gambling publicly.  I would have guessed it would be a lot higher than that.  You can also see from the chart that he didn't start out making terrible bets.  His performance since last summer has been damning though.  Burning through nearly half a million dollars in losses per month since that time.  Anyone who has been taking the opposite side of him from that point is doing quite well now.

When I initially saw this thread the first thing that goes through my mind was that if he has never won before, because their is no way it is a curse if he has actually won before, since in gambling you are always going to have more losing than winning.

One thing I like about Drake is that he is not afraid to take huge risk while gambling, but the Canada vs Morocco game he won, I think that he was not too convinced, that's why he gamble on Morocco to win with just $1, instead of the huge amount of money he always gamble with, and I believe that it would be among his biggest regret in this just concluded world cup tournament.

That's why it's good to do research, I'm a big fan of Drake so I needed to clear air about the Drake curse controversy, I also felt his lose would  be 90% out of 100 but i was amazed that it's 60/40, 60% lose, 40% wins.

 I never believe that he's never won any bet in his betting journey, he can't be that unlucky, from that site you can see that he's won amazing figures in the past, it guess that's what made him consistent to have about 88 bets. I still wonder why people feel he's cursed the bets he won are huge figures that could make up some loses.

It's also my first time seeing his record and hearing about this drake curse. I also think that 3 million dollar loss on a high roller public influencer that is known for a betting curse is a bit small. One bet that I saw on social media is the upset of Indiana Pacers to Oklahoma City Thunder which drake has put a bet into. I didn't mind it that time but after seeing the win probability, it certainly a curse haha.

Given that someone did a research about drake betting history and made a website for drake curse is wild!

Drake is actually the face of a particular online casino that also offers sport betting services, and that's why I have always doubted the intentions behind those bets that he usually post online. I'm not a believer of the whole drake-curse narrative, because I understand that the success of every bet is never guaranteed. If the whole drake-curse is actually true, that means those who lose most of their bets are also cursed or aren't they?. So for this reason, I just choose not to be a part of the whole belief.

60/40 is not entirely a terrible one if we're to check the total amount won, and the amount that was lost.
I have always knew that the whole curse narrative was not entirely true, even though some of the top bets made it sound true.

[JoyMarsha]

When it comes to betting, I don't think someone is cursed by it. Like someone would curse their fellow human being not to win a bet. Is that not stupidity?

I will take it as Drake is being unlucky when it comes to betting. Many of us have lost many times in gambling(not to be compared to the amount Drake has lost), more than the number of times Drake has done, but still we didn't in any way think we are cursed because of gambling. In Drake's case, I don't think he is cursed. He's just one of the unlucky gamblers, same as we are

I don't see any wrong in gambling when you are losing money since their is no way we can reduce the possiblity of losing money to gambling when the target is to make money by all possible means. As a gambling that seldomly bet, I have learned how to control my urge when looking for other mean of making money and gambling have been the least out of my options.

If you gamble and you are not making any profits, it is okay to feel fine and stop to come back another day when you have the zeal to improve on how you gamble so that you don't continue to be losing money when you can stay away for a little time and improve your emotions not to incur too many loses.

Still remember that football does not operate on fairness, the highest odd could win not because they played well in all ways but because they sneaked in a goal by luck or mistake or even an own goal by the possessive team can leave a very good team in loss so always be aware of this even though I wanted a new generation of players to win (Spain) yet it wouldn’t consider Argentina win unfair if it had happen.

However back to the topic, drake is just a marketing genius and he knows that if he publishes his wins he might loss attention since he is known for controversial stuffs so he made it very obvious that for him to be the talk of the time he had to loss to the public so they will think he has a problem and still brands or casinos will bring deals to him so he could cause attention to the casino.

[Dunamisx]

Maybe lesser do they know that there is nothing like a curse already on him than vain vanity of speech, there are some things that are not left considered serious because of the nature of what is behind it, you cannot place a curse on a player like Lionel Messi when he didn't have any agreement with you that warrant taking a bet on his behalf, any risk we took in gambling will be at our own disposure and we are going to dance to the tune of the music with play in it, which is exactly what Drake is doing.

I don't think we should be worried about his financial situation, but he's definitely not someone people should try to imitate when it comes to placing bets.

The real concern here isn’t whether these high profile bets is a promotional deal or not, the real focus here is that it could potentially normalize the act of engaging in risky gambling behaviors. Not everyone are interested to look at the fact that celebrities have financial advantages or even sponsorship deals that the ordinary gamblers do not have, and this is why it’s crucial to note that one shouldn’t treat these kind of bets as something that’s worth copying, that’s if they’re interested in gambling safely.

When I initially saw this thread the first thing that goes through my mind was that if he has never won before, because their is no way it is a curse if he has actually won before, since in gambling you are always going to have more losing than winning.

When he wins, you not going to see people post it on any social media, but whenever he loss huge amount of money, you going to see everyone online complaining about the loss, but whenever he wins everyone is going to go silent. I don’t think he will be gambling without winning, and he will continue gambling, that’s not possible.

For the people complaining about the amount drake is gambling with, the amount might be a big amount of money for us, but the amount might not be so big for drake because he is wealthy, and he doesn’t even depend on gambling for survival. Also we should know that drake is stake ambassador, that’s why I feel he public his gambling activities online.

[Davidvictorson]

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.

If there is anything like retiring from gambling, then Drake should do so.
If there is any award that should be given to the worse gambler of the century, then Drake should be a recipient of such award.
If he doesn’t want to retire, then I suggest that he contracts the services of a gambling consultant to help him make the rights bets. It is obvious that he is going to do it again. He can afford the services if a consultant, someone in his team should suggest it to him.

It is quite funny how you mention that having Argentina winning the match would have been very unfair, because one of my friends (who I watch the match with) actually told me that Spain winning was necessary for Football to be saved from FIFA corruption.

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Argentina won and became champions of the world again, would have that been enough for people to completely lose faith on FIFA and boycott future events hosted by them?

[terrific]

Until now, it's being talked to.
Drake and stake got you guys.
It's a good exposure to the world that the brand has been recognized, thanks to what did their ambassador did.

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Argentina won and became champions of the world again, would have that been enough for people to completely lose faith on FIFA and boycott future events hosted by them?

It will be a different scenario by then but I guess whether they win or not, these fans will always find a way to argue who's better.
And if FIFA has been rigged or not, in the end, everyone has to move on.
