According to reports fromDailyMail, Drake even made headlines for betting on Formula One. But what made notorious reports was his reputation of bringing bad luck to those whom he backs. As per reports, although the rapper had won quite some bets, he was majorly known for losing his money, which also meant a loss for the team he had bet his money on.
Previously, the rapper made headlines for his audacious $400,000 stake on Jake Paul. Unfortunately, Brit Fury defeated Paul via a split decision, which led to Drake losing his money. Before that event, the rapper lost $275,000 after betting it on Jorge Masvidal to beat Colby Covington at UFC 272 in Las Vegas. The rapper’s misery continued further after he lost $427,000 when he backed Justin Gaethje to beat Charles Oliveira at UFC 274.
The Grammy winner has also lost $450,350 for incorrectly predicting the New York Rangers to win the NHL Eastern Conference Finals. He also tried his luck with F1, placing $275,000 on Ferrari’s Charles LeClerc to win the Spanish Grand Prix in 2022. Unfortunately, LeClerc lost to two-time champion Max Verstappen. After losing several staggering bets, people started believing in Drake’s betting curse, which not only made the rapper lose his money but also brought bad luck to the one he backed.

According toBleacher Report, Drake had put down a $1.15M bet on the Kansas City Chiefs to defeat the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58.

But eventually, for whatever reason he bet on the Chiefs, the rapper made a whopping $2.3M following its win.
Breaking free of his betting curse and the notorious reputation of bringing bad luck on the ones he backed, Drake made a staggering amount out of his stressful period.
