Drake Breaks the Curse With a Crypto Win on a World Cup Bet: Details

The Canadian musician Aubrey Drake Graham, better known as Drake, placed a sizeable crypto wager on a World Cup match. Unlike many previous occasions, though, this time he cashed out a substantial profit. Finally a Win 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. Drake also tried his luck, betting $770,000 worth of USDT on his homeland, Canada, to eliminate its opponent. “The Reds” defeated “Bafana Bafana” 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. Drake’s Crypto Bet, Source: Instagram Seeing the musician’s bet go his way is almost surprising, as the football teams he supports usually end up defeated. In 2022, he wagered over $600,000 worth of BTC on FC Barcelona to beat its biggest rival, Real Madrid. However, the Catalan team lost “El Clásico,” and Drake ultimately parted with his stake. In 2024, Drake bet $300,000 in BTC that Canada would beat Argentina in the Copa América 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. 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. Drake also tried his luck at this year’s Champions League final, which featured Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain. He placed a $1 million bet on the British team only to watch them lose 4-3 in a penalty shootout. The Drake Curse These unfortunate events have prompted the creation of the phrase “the Drake curse,” which refers to a superstition that whichever team or athlete he publicly supports tends to perform poorly. His losing bets spread far beyond football matches. In 2024, Drake lost $700,000 worth of BTC on a UFC fight, while earlier this year he parted with $1 million in the cryptocurrency after the New England Patriots lost the Super Bowl to the Seattle Seahawks.
