Drake Loses $1.5m World Cup Bet
The Canadian rapper’s stake vanished after Spain’s extra-time winner left Argentina short of a title defense and cost him a potential $5 million payout.
- Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in the FIFA World Cup final in New Jersey yesterday, with rapper Drake losing a £1.1 million bet on the defending champions.
- Argentina entered the final as reigning champions after winning the tournament in Qatar, defeating England 2-1 in the semi-finals as one of the tournament favourites.
- Drake placed the £1.1 million wager through crypto betting platform Stake on Saturday with odds of +245, offering a potential payout exceeding £3.7 million had Argentina won.
- Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in extra time for Spain while Argentina's hopes collapsed after midfielder Enzo Fernandez was sent off late in the match.
- The loss reignited the 'Drake Curse,' an internet theory suggesting teams backed by the artist often lose; while lacking factual basis, it continues trending whenever Drake places high-profile bets.
