The Canadian musician Aubrey Drake Graham, better known as Drake, placed a sizeable crypto wager on a World Cup match.<\/p>\n

Unlike many previous occasions, though, this time he cashed out a substantial profit.<\/p>\n

Finally a Win<\/h2>\n

Yesterday (June 28), Canada (one of the countries hosting the FIFA World Cup 2026) played South Africa in a crucial match that determined the first team to advance to the round of 16. Top-tier games like this tend to draw swarms of gamblers hoping to predict the winner and score a quick profit.<\/p>\n

Drake also tried his luck, betting $770,000 worth of USDT on his homeland, Canada, to eliminate its opponent. \u201cThe Reds\u201d defeated \u201cBafana Bafana\u201d after scoring 1-0 at the very end of the game. The odds for Canada to go through were 1.30, meaning Drake made a profit of around $230,000 in USDT.<\/p>\n

\"Drake's<\/a>
Drake\u2019s Crypto Bet, Source: Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Seeing the musician\u2019s bet go his way is almost surprising, as the football teams he supports usually end up defeated. In 2022, he wagered<\/a> over $600,000 worth of BTC on FC Barcelona to beat its biggest rival, Real Madrid. However, the Catalan team lost \u201cEl Cl\u00e1sico,\u201d and Drake ultimately parted with his stake.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Drake bet<\/a> $300,000 in BTC that Canada would beat Argentina in the Copa Am\u00e9rica semi-final. The odds for the North American country were 9.60 since it was the massive underdog, meaning a potential win would have brought the rapper a profit of more than $2.5 million in the leading cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Argentina (the reigning world champion) delivered the predictable outcome, cruising to a 2-0 victory, with captain Lionel Messi sealing the match with the second goal.<\/p>\n

Drake also tried his luck at this year\u2019s Champions League final, which featured Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain. He placed<\/a> a $1 million bet on the British team only to watch them lose 4-3 in a penalty shootout.<\/p>\n

The Drake Curse<\/h2>\n

These unfortunate events have prompted the creation of the phrase \u201cthe Drake curse,\u201d which refers to a superstition that whichever team or athlete he publicly supports tends to perform poorly.<\/p>\n

His losing bets spread far beyond football matches. In 2024, Drake\u00a0lost<\/a> $700,000 worth of BTC on a UFC fight, while earlier this year he parted<\/a> with $1 million in the cryptocurrency after the New England Patriots lost the Super Bowl to the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n
