Drake Loses Millions in Crypto Bets on World Cup Final

The World Cup final between Spain and Argentina resulted in massive crypto losses for many high stakes gamblers. Among them was the Canadian rapper Drake, who wagered 1.5 million dollars in USDT on an Argentina victory. Had the team won within regular time, his payout would have exceeded 5 million dollars. Instead, Spain secured a 1 0 win, leaving the rapper with nothing.

This loss adds to the growing list of incidents often referred to as the Drake Curse. Earlier this month, the musician also lost a 1 million dollar Bitcoin bet on a UFC fight. These frequent misses have sparked significant talk across social media platforms regarding the rapper's sports betting track record.

While some lost, others managed to capitalize on the outcome. One whale reportedly opened a new betting wallet shortly before the final and placed nearly 2 million dollars on Spain. This strategic move resulted in a profit of 1.35 million dollars in just a few hours. The event serves as a sharp reminder of the volatility involved in betting large amounts of crypto on major sporting outcomes.
