Drake’s Bets: The Canadian Rapper Who Bet Over $1 Billion In 2 Months
Drake has been making waves in the online gambling industry since becoming an official ambassador for the online cryptocurrency casino, Stake.com. Most recently, Kendrick Lamar has accused Drake of being a gambling addict.
Here at Casino.org, we wanted to get a full picture of Drake’s extraordinary gambling habits, so we’ve analyzed his biggest sports and casino bets, as well as his relationship with Stake.com (see our full Stake review here).
Summary Of Drake’s Gambling Habits
- Drake joined the crypto casino Stake.com in December 2021. In just two months, he wagered cryptocurrency worth over $1 billion on sports and casino bets.
- Due to Drake’s bad track record with sports bets, many believe in the “Drake Curse”, where any athlete endorsed or wagered on by Drake suffers a defeat.
- Drake has wagered millions on sports bets, suffering many defeats in soccer and UFC (for example, losing $2 million on one UFC bet in 2022), but has been luckier with the NBA and NFL, bagging $2 million betting that The Kansas City Chiefs would win Super Bowl LVII.
- Drake also gambles on casino games, especially roulette. In 2022, he took home over $12 million on a roulette spin.
- Drake has hosted five live streamed events called “Drake vs Stake”, where he hands out Bitcoin packages worth up to $75,000. On one day, he won nearly $25 million himself, while on another, he started with $8.5 million and ended with less than $2,000.
- Some believe that the money Drake gambles on Stake.com is deposited by Stake itself.
