Drake’s sports curse continues. The rapper, who seems to bring bad luck to all the teams whose jersey he wears, was right this time by betting on Argentina’s victory against France in the 2022 World Cup final. He was also wrong on one detail, US media reports.
Indeed, the artist bet a million dollars on the Argentine victory, but in regulation time. But the Argentines beat the French on penalties. If Drake had won his bet, he would have pocketed $2.7 million.
“Historical audience record”
Drake has been known to regularly place very large bets on major sporting events. He lost $2 million last month in a fight between boxing champions Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira.
The 2022 World Cup final, the sporting event of the year, was watched by 24.08 million people on TF1, representing a “historic audience record” for French television, the channel announced on Monday.
