Drake saw his latest gamble go south after the New England Patriots fell to the Seattle Seahawks. The rapper reportedly wagered $1 million on the Patriots to win the game. This outcome means Drake loses a significant amount of money from the bet.
Drake’s Super Bowl Wager
Drake often makes bold bets, and this Super Bowl was no exception. He placed a $1 million bet on the New England Patriots to defeat the Seattle Seahawks. Many wondered if he picked the Patriots because their quarterback shares his name,Drake Maye. However, this proved to be a costly decision. The Patriots’ offense struggled throughout the game, as reported by HotNewHipHop. The Seahawks defense put pressure on Maye all game long. Ultimately, the Seahawks secured a decisive 29-13 victory. This outcome left Drake’s pockets considerably lighter. For most people, such a loss would be devastating.
The “Drake Curse” Continues
This latest betting loss continues a pattern for the Toronto native. It seems Drake’s favored teams often fall short. Last year, he reportedly bet $1 million on his Toronto Maple Leafs to win in the NHL playoffs. They also lost, allowing the Florida Panthers to advance. This ongoing trend has led fans to label it the “Drake Curse.” While the financial impact might not affect Drake significantly due to his wealth, it’s a notable streak of bad luck for his wagers. HotNewHipHop noted that if the Patriots had won, he would have profited $1.95 million.
Legal Ramifications
Beyond the betting losses, Drake is also facing legal issues related to his partnership with the crypto casino Stake. This collaboration has resulted in several civil class-action lawsuits. Streamer Adin Ross, also affiliated with the platform, is similarly accused of promoting gambling. Individuals from New Mexico, Virginia, and Missouri have filed lawsuits against them. The codefendants are reportedly trying to dismiss the cases. They have argued that the initial lawsuit should be thrown out due to the terms and conditions signed by the plaintiffs
