Topic: Drake loses $615k bet on Joshua-Ngannou bout - page 5. (Read 923 times)

And you think this amount really affects him?
Now what was his total winning I mean if that his bet on this fight win what amount was he supposed to win, $615k quiet large enough for someone to lose at this dying economy because of trying to make more money where it could lead to losing more. Well I won't picture this because it always affects mind even though he bets with he can afford to lose but at least this could have gone a way for the helpless people out there than to just lost it in gamble.

You win some, you lose some. You can’t win it all. This would be added to his growing list of losses he has made during the years he has had gambling.
This loss like others and despite the amount, will probably not have any effect on him or his finances and it’ll probably be just like any other loss he has had before.

$615,00 is no small amount to lose but I guess with his history, he’s not a stranger to losses like this.

Peanuts compared to what he usually lose when he makes bets like this. Last time he lost something major it was around 2 mill if I'm not mistaken, and I'm not here to defend his actions cause if I'm not mistaken he's a chronic gambler teetering towards to gambling addiction. Only difference is that he makes the money he lost soon as he loses it, so it doesn't really matter as much as it does to us when he lose millions, or if he's that addicted cause at the end of the day, he only loses the equivalent of a couple big macs to us.

Plus it's not like he's misusing the money, no virtue signaling here or whatever since he whatever he got, he earned fair and square. So in that regard we really don't have a say on where he spends his shit. I personally take it as an inspiration, not to become a gambling addict like him (like fuck I've been in that boat and it's not the most amazing thing) but be as rich as him that it doesn't even matter if you get addicted to gambling (although of course, it's an analogy, not really looking to become addicted to gambling when I finally get rich) cause earning the money back is not going to be your problem anymore, it's spending it fulfillingly.

Game-wise, I don't even know why I still trust Ngannou at this point. It's great that he's a powerhouse that hits like a fucking boulder but if you got a glass jaw that doesn't really matter anymore, especially if you don't even develop strategies/techniques or improvement programs to better your defenses or at the very least improve. It's just so complacent at this point and I'm slowly losing my trust and confidence in him as a fighter.

I wonder whether Drake actually bets with his own money or whether the whole idea is to do some great marketing for Stake. His marketing effect is huge and I guess most of his bets are paid for by Stake.com. And I guess losing bets are probably better marketing than winning bets as nobody would really be talking about Drake winning a million in sports betting. But losing 615k sounds like a good story that people would rather be inclined to share and talk about.

The bet size is a bit weird I think because if someone bets hundreds of thousands of dollars, why would he go with 615k instead of just round 600k? Like, he is sitting there and comes to the conclusion and that 600k is not enough, so he tops it up by another 15k

This is not the first loss of Drake when it comes to high stake betting. If you follow his instagram, you will understand that he's really one of the high rollers in sportsbetting at stake. Do remember, we don't know how much he is being paid at stake being the Ambassador of this bookie. And actually, even if he was on the losing side here, he's also getting something from it. Publishing his losing bet alone has some kind of money deal with stake. Though when he posted it, the results were not yet out.

I know someone already posted that bet but I want to share the perspective that Drake has 146 millions of followers and so the impact is quite a big deal here. And you know, people talk. Thus, a very good campaign for stake as well even if he lost this bet.

It is intriguing when a known celebrity like Drake losses with his bets. But these money of his can be recovered easily by him knowing that he's got some sponsorships and deals with his label.

While this is like a life savings to the most of us, this how the rich people gamble. It's like nothing on them but I am sure that there's a point of his moment that he's terribly feeling bad about such losses, everytime he's into this situation.

As that's easy money to recover for him, I also have some losses that can easily be recovered but too far to compare to him. 

We have seen those loses and there's no way that we could really be able to stop on how he would really be doing his gambling ways. We've seen those huge numbers but
also we've seen on how he had been able to make huge money too. This is why it would really better that let him be on the things that he would really be doing
because its his money and if ever he would really be that losing up then of course he is aware on how he would really be losing and it would really be just that
normal that he would be frustrated but it would really be that impossible that he wont be able to recover those loses considering on how much this man worth.

Knockout is option with in recent years we have too many options in boxing as well which are giving good response to punters for their bets like how to win when to win and many more options available.
I have feeling Drake is doing this all for few casinos as well because after his ticket and bet many peoples try to follow him, and mostly he posts his tickets as well which create good influence and also good hype about the player where he is investing in this boxing match as things were going for me there was no chance for the Ngannou because few months back he lost against Fury, and now he is having second defeat with things are going to be troubled due to his quick knockout.

That's what he deserves... Immediately when I saw his tickets from Twitter, I knew that was gonna turn out bad..

---

what's normally the reasons why he shows off his tickets after betting if I may ask? To create some sort of shades?.. lol, now the whole world knows he's lost the game and he has remained quiet ever since then... Isn't that enough shame for the day?

---

I won't dare to wager on the same option as his - inspite having way lesser budget for the game (assuming I normally wager games).. why bet on Francis over Joshua? The former is just an overhyped piece of shit.

Fights are not favorable to him, as he is always betting on the loser, because he does not have the luck of betting on the fighter that do win the fights. He is very wealthy, and I don't think that those losses matter a lot to him, if not maybe he would ha e stopped betting on fights.

A lot of gamblers must have lost yesterday because they will think that Ngannou will be the winner, because of the way he won Tyson Fury in his last fight. But he becamw weak when he was fighting with AJ, and accepted defeat in the second round without difficulties. Gamble is a game of luck, and it is after the outcome that a gambler will know if he made the right decision or not.

The fights comes interesting before our very own eyes, with both fighter giving their best. AJ is unstoppable, he knocked out Francis Ngannou in the second round with a KO finish which is a fierce move coming from the fighter. The Drake's curse followed Francis Ngannou because there's this pure fact about the Canadian artist, he tends to lose money easily when it comes to gambling. He's very unlucky with these games but he has been adamant and refused to quit, rather he's aiming to placing more bets on earning quite important points in the system.

First off, congratulations to Joshua for putting up a great fight and disappointing the lot of us. The match made Joshua look like the underdog because of his pass losses. Now that Francis lost, where is he going to draw his motivation from to fight Fury. Or maybe he is going to ask for a rematch with Joshua.

As for Drake, I don't care if he lost a billion dollars. His loss, his business.

Obviously, knockouts is very much a part of the game. It doesn’t really matter what the opponents wins by so long as gambling is concerned, it’s a matter of who wins in the end, I might not be very familiar with the boxing markets but, isn’t knockout an option?

Meanwhile, it’s almost a tradition for Drake to often make these huge bets and loss then, it goes public. It’s nothing to him and doesn’t change anything about his gambling habits. His going to have his go at it yet again. Let’s just give it a little time. His shows, deals and investment makes sure his not the loser in the end.

he is a rich person so even if he loses that amount of money, with the business he has, he can easily recover that money he lost, there are also days when he manages to win, so in my opinion he is not losing much, He is probably making more money than losing money, rich people like him have access to brilliant minds, by which I mean that rich people like him have intelligent employees managing his assets and who constantly give him financial advice. probably before he makes a sports bet, he looks at his assets and how much profit he will have this month and based on that he makes calculations of how much money he can risk betting, for example if he makes calculations of what his profits will be this month will exceed 5 million dollars

so he can risk making a bet of 600 million dollars, if he loses the bet, then it will only reduce his monthly profit to something like 4 and a half million dollars, and this does not reduce his assets in any way or reduce his money that he has in his bank accounts, so this is the difference between the rich person playing and losing and the poor person who only depends on his salary when he plays and loses at the game, I had already talked about this here on the forum, that the person who depends on his salary does not At the end of the month to take out a little money to play and have fun, he will be harming himself, while the person who has a lot of business and plays will not harm himself because the money he lost gambling will be recovered with the business he has

Just like a normal day for Drake and seriously, this is still a small amount of money for him.
Well, we can’t blame Drake because many anticipate that Francis will be the one to win here unfortunately the result turns out different and a loss via knocked out. This could be the problem if you have that much money, you don’t analyze the match anymore and you are just following the hype or someone’s advice.

A big lose for Drake, the bet was huge, anyways he's supper rich and I guess it's an amount that he can afford to loose, if not then he'll nurse the lose for quite a while and definitely move on. I'm sure that many people will bet against Joshua, winning that fight because they'll believe that Ngannou, will enter the fight to destroy Joshua, to redeem his image after losing to Tyson Fury, in his debut fight. Unfortunately he came short of glory and fell harder this time to a more experienced Anthony Joshua, I felt quite sad when the fight ended, I was hoping that he'd make a name for himself by winning Anthony Joshua.

So Drake ended up losing this game. I saw this slip on the internet yesterday where people were debating how sure the game was and how Drake made the right bet on the right player judging from the last match with both where Francis won. 
 
This is just one of those games, and it has made the page and headlines; that's just one thing about gambling: the result will keep on surprising you; they can't be the way you predicted it to be always. There was a lot involved here; Anthony is superior to him when it comes to boxing, and Francis Ngannou is an MMA fighter. They both need to know their place.

Give me a better reason why Francis Ngannou lost the fight. Don’t tell me he talks too much. For crying out loud, the man is a fighter. Trash talking is part of the business. I didn’t see one interview where Francis Ngannou was disrespectful to Anthony Joshua, it’s normal for boxers to talk about how they are going to knock out their opponent, it’s their own way of playing mind games and gaining media attention to the match. Ngannou lost the fight because Anthony Joshua is a better boxer, he had more to lose, not everyone believed in Joshua and he needed to make a point. And he did.

I don't know why people are underestimating the power of Anthony Joshua and we need to look into it very closely. Francis is a good boxer but his problem is that he talks too much. He had been taking since and trying to convince people that he is going to beat and win Anthony Joshua in the fight but I was very surprised that he couldn't even reach the third round. I watched the match and I laughed because upon all his boosting and trying to convince people that he his better than fury then comparing Anthony Joshua with Fury is something we need to look closely because he deserves another punch on his face.

Well, he must have been convinced because of the result between Ngannou vs Tyson Fury. That fight made Ngannou so sensational that he convinced anyone to root for him even if he fight against a pro boxer. I couldn't say his boxing career is over but he might be fighting again after his PFL fight.

It was said that he made $20M in this fight alone. That is way more than a win for him than remaining in MMA.
