The Drake curse strikes again! The singer has, once again, lost $300,000 on a bet that didn\u2019t quite go his way.<\/p>\n
The bet was for Canada<\/a> (Drake\u2019s home country) to win against Argentina in the Copa America semifinals on Wednesday (July 10). Instead of the result he was hoping for, it was a 2-0 result for the South American team as Messi and \u00c1lvarez both scored.<\/p>\n If Drake\u2019s bet would have come to fruition, he stood to gain an estimated payout of $2.88 million.<\/p>\n In a now-deleted Instagram story, the singer had shared his betting slip and captioned it with \u2018This could get Messi @stake.\u2019<\/p>\n Argentina are the reigning champions, following their win against Brazil in the final in 2021.<\/p>\n Drake\u2019s patriotism cannot be disputed as he adds another notch to his \u2018losses.\u2019 It was only in May, just two months ago, when he staked $565,000 on Tyson Fury beating Oleksander Usyk.<\/p>\n He has bet on boxing several times. In February 2023, he bet against Tyson Fury\u2019s younger brother Tommy as he put $400,000 on social media star Jake Paul to beat him by knockout. Tommy Fury won on the night by decision.<\/p>\n Another $2 million Canadian dollars were lost in November 2022 when Israel Adesanya faced a knockout loss by Alex Pereira.<\/p>\n He has also bet on Argentina to win before. He put on $1 million for Argentina to win the 2020 FIFA World Cup but while they did win, the bet didn\u2019t stand as the match was decided by penalties.<\/p>\n While the continuous losses are sure to make a dent in even Drake\u2019s pocket<\/a> given how many times he has lost, the money likely matters even less due to his partnership with Stake.<\/p>\n Stake is a global online casino and sports betting company. The company and Drake formed their partnership in March of 2022 in a campaign that saw $1 million donated to the LeBron James Foundation.<\/p>\n Now, the singer will regularly share his betting attempts with fans on Instagram. The bets are laden with Stake advertising.<\/p>\n Featured Image: Via Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nDrake\u2019s betting partnership with gambling company Stake<\/b><\/h2>\n
