Rich Flex Gone Wrong? Drake Loses MILLIONS In WC Final Bet

Rich Flex Gone Wrong? Drake Loses MILLIONS In WC Final Bet

Despite predicting an Argentina win in his World Cup final bet, Drake still lost over R17 million. 

Check it out!

What's the story?

Before the FIFA World Cup final kicked-off, Drake took to Instagram to share a $1 million (R17.6 million) bet placed on eventual winners Argentina. 

Despite La Albiceleste's win, Drake's 1x2 bet still saw him lose his millions yesterday.

Football's Biggest Bromance: Hakimi Mbappe 

Let's take a closer look at why he didn't walk away with a successful bet...

Drake wins but looses big

Drake, who's an avid sports fan, lost a staggering R17.6 million bet on the FIFA World Cup final, which saw his favoured Argentina win 4-2 on penalties. 

The rap mogul was set to win $2.75 million (Over R48 million) if Argentina won the game in normal time. A quick-fire brace by Kylian Mbappe in minutes '80 and '81 dashed those hopes for Drake. 

Drake's 1x2 bet doesn't account for extra time, which ended 3-3 after stars Mbappe and Messi traded blows to take the game into extra time. 

So close, yet so far for Toronto's rap icon, who has a long history of rooted against the eventual winners that the sports world has a running joke/superstition called the "Drake curse."

The curse has impacted teams such as Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Mbappe's PSG. Sergio Aguero was also a victim of the Drake curse back in 2019, after being pictured with the star before a Champions League Quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspurs. 

In a way, even though Drake lost his bet, he somehow managed to back the winning team this time. Gods plan?
