Drake gambled with large sums of money during the Super Bowl
Canadian artist Drake has been quite active with games of chance in recent months. The rapper has a preference for games of chance, for example, the artist wears an extremely expensive roulette watch. Interestingly enough, Drake has been doing a lot of betting on sports lately, which he also likes to share with his followers. Last weekend the Super Bowl was on the program and the artist placed a bet of 1.6 million Canadian dollars. Recently, Drake gambled by placing a huge high bet on the roulette game Double Ball.
Betting on the Los Angeles Rams
The Canadian placed bets worth 1.1 million euros with the illegal gaming provider Betting Astropay. This involved three bets on the Los Angeles Rams. A good choice, as the Rams walked away with the win. The following bets were placed by Drake:
- Los Angeles Rams win (600,000 Canadian dollar bet - 906,000 Canadian dollar win).
- Odell Beckham Jr. scores a touchdown (500,000 Canadian dollars bet - 1,075,000 Canadian dollars profit).
- Odell Beckham Jr. over 62.5 receiving yards (500,000 Canadian dollars bet - lost bet).
The Curse of Drake
Drake's win also immediately ended the so-called "Curse of Drake. An athlete who would come into contact the rapper would be cursed, after which misfortune would follow. A few years ago, Drake decided to become the ambassador of the Toronto Raptors, followed not much later by one of the worst periods in the club's history. That turned out to be the beginning of an unhappy time.
The Italian soccer club AS Roma decided to ban its players from having their picture taken with the rapper. This was not without some reason. Sergio Aguero was photographed with the artist and subsequently missed a penalty kick in the UEFA Champions League, while Jadon Sancho went down 5-0 against arch-rival Bayern Munich.
Los Angeles Rams
Drake decided to place a huge bet on the Los Angeles Rams despite the curse. That turned out to be a great choice, as things immediately went as the rapper predicted. Odell Beckham Jr. was successful with a touchdown within just 10 minutes. However, the player did not reach the 63 receiving yards, due to an injury. The Rams won 23-20 and the Canadian won a sum of 265,825 euros.
