I think it was a technical knockout IIRC, so Drake could have still won that bet even though Dillon is disqualified. I don't know the ruling of the individual sports books, though. Nevertheless, Drake really is a high-roller with the right picks most of the time, and he's qualified to all of these decisions given how much money he has on his person. Win or lose, he can still bear the outcome of any bet he makes, and IMO that's more important especially if you're betting huge amounts like this.

The result us disqualified since he choke Paul. This is not any for of knock out result since since Dillon is not knock out. It’s more on decision rather than knock out result since Dillon choke result to penalty which disqualified him. This is an exhibition match which means there’s no really official call on this result aside from DQ but I believe those who beg on decision result won this fight but not really sure depending on casino ToS about DQ.

Drake's net worth is $260 Million. He lost $0.85 million. Probably he can afford to lose it. Not all days are good for gamblers. There are days he also won.

But if I am Drake and have money like this, I can not spend on gambling like this.

Rich people have a different mindset. Also, you don't know how much he's making by making his bets public. Casinos sponsor him and it's not uncommon for them to return some of the losses to their promoters.
Drake was greedy. He could bet for the winner and get less money, but he wanted more, so he added that "by knockout" option to lower the odds and increase the win amount.
Greed often doesn't pay.
AI also wouldn't spend money as carelessly as he is, but on the other hand, you only live once Wink

The Drake's Curse.

He lost on the right man. We have experienced losses but not as bad as this...this is just terrible.

What do the gambling folks have to say about this?
Not as bad as this is just a statement that qualifies value based on what is lost instead of what it’s worth to the individual gambler.
Drakes  gambling habit is a common gist on the web and having to lose on the right man as stated isn’t exactly what it is. He gambled against a different market to benefits from the leveraged odds and as such, lost.

I wouldn’t think about it very much as this doesn’t mean a lot to the rapper, just a show and his back on track, ready yo gamble yet again. Drake is keeping the gambling spirit alive for most users and has become a sensation for most. Big wins and big loses, the Drake’s course.

That is what happens when you try increasing your final odds on the bet by adding details to how the prediction must happen. It's not enough to predict the winner anymore, you have to predict the sequence the game is going to happen in details. Even aware about this, he took the risks, made a huge bet and lost... That is part of gambling and it must not be a big issue for a man who is profiting from the industry in another ways that go beyond profiting from his own bets. For Drake, it's part of the game to place high bets, so he get recognization and popularity at the trend topics of internet.

I would certainly not go as far as detailing how the match is supposed to go, I am not that tolerant to risk. If I wanted to bet on a match, I would be enough for me just to try to predict the final outcome, (winner, loser or tie).
I would only picture someone going as far as being that specific if they were professional bettors of some kind. The kind of person who had many years of experience and had analized teams for the longest time.

Otherwise, it is just a shot in the darkness. Huh

As a gambler I would say that you must always check and verify any information provided related a bet/odd.
 Of course in this case there is a combo bet and no It wasn't enough bet on the right player...

I find more curious to see these high stakes bets Roll Eyes probably for him these are Just nuts but It something not common in any case also because he Is betting in a "friendly" match.

Now, the big question is this.... Is Drake being funded by Stake.com to make these huge bets, because he is an affiliate and a brand ambassador for Stake.com.  Huh

The same thing apply to his occasional gambling streams, where he gives away tons of money. It is one thing using your own money, but paid streamers are playing with casino money.

Will we ever know what happens behind closed doors.... right.  Tongue



That's a good question, he's not betting on any casino only on Stake.com, there's a possibility that he is getting his earnings from his referrals since he is an influencer and may have other big bettors under his name, but Drake makes Stake looks good with his winning and losing because he shows that he can withdraw his earnings right away.

And going back to Drake it's not actually a curse this happens to all gamblers and Drake is no exception, the amount is only peanut he is a multi-millionaire and he is an active artist so he still makes a lot from his concerts and royalty, he can do whatever he wants to do with his money.

Gambling requires courage. Even when correct, you might be mistaken in this cruel world. Drake's latest loss illustrates that. Though he chose the appropriate fighter, did he fully grasp the fight? Did he anticipate fights' wild and unpredictable turns? In stressful situations like conflicts, people are unpredictable and volatile.

Given Drake's background and "The Drake's Curse" storyline, the pattern must be closely examined. Is he underanalyzing his bets? Is it just a series of coincidences that form this 'curse'? For gambling veterans, its a typical example of the need to comprehend the game, its complex behaviors, and its outcomes. Repeatingly losing such large bets indicates more than bad luck. It raises concerns, requires introspection, and emphasizes gambling's risks.

Why are you making this look like a big loss for someone who is making millions of dollars every month? Drake is an ambassador for Stake Casino isn't it? So he will always make money for himself and the platform he is promoting, you just don't get how big this mans pocket is that's why you believe he is somehow cursed for losing, I lost some money to gambling yesterday,  am I supposed to be cursed because I lost too? Don't ever fool yourself, losing is the most accurate result you or anyone can get in gambling, wins comes once in a while.

I have also read somewhere online how lucky this man is with gambling, it's more like a market strategy for big online casino like Stake.com, so I don't care much about him losing, everyone and anyone can lose to gambling, and that doesn't mean we should copy their steps too because this man has the money to risk, a small win for him is a big win honestly.

How about in a month or two this man makes all he lost back? He has the skills and gambling isn't the best way he is making some cool source of income, I think you should do some research about Drakes achievements so far, it's no joke man, he is worth over 200 million right now.

Drake can easily make that money through his endorsements so obviously, what he lose is just a small amount compared to his overall earnings. And I don’t think he never seen it coming before taking that decision, but since gambling is very unpredictable, his expectation at times might also gone the wrong way instead. But yes, if we are on his foot, we would have used that money to save and invest instead, than to shoot it all to gambling.

I believe Drake can be funded by Stake.com for being a top affiliate maybe some of the money has been compensated or all of it is possible.

Drake using his own money is very reasonable because he has great wealth but my view leads to stake.com behind all Drake bets, including maybe other streamers who are paid so behind all that there is casino money at play and their personal money is not disturbed maybe my guess is right behind their back door.

Those of use that are not yet privilege to that height would always question why the rich and wealthy spend money the way they do!

But the bitter truth is that we would spend more of what they are spending if we're to be in their position. They have the money entering on all sides from one endorsement to another and all they are burdened with is how and where to spend those money on.

For a gambler like Drake he has many good investments in place yielding steady returns for him so therefore spending $0.85million of his networth can be said to be nothing to him it's possible as we speak now that amount has been refilled by one of his many endorsement deals.

I’m sure Drake is compensated by Stake. I don’t think that is really a question. Drake probably just bets the money they pay him. Even if he loses he gets a decent rake and I’m guessing he gets a % of users that sign up clicking his name or during certain periods when he’s got Stake in the news. I feel like when it comes to Drake the real money for him would be in the referrals.
Drake is a global influencer who happens to be influencing for Stake and I think he receives some certain compensation from the loses he does include in those big stakes that most times worths millions of dollars.
Again, the fact that we only get to see receipts of his losses doesn't mean that he's always losing all his stakes. Probably they don't make public the ones he does win and that's the work of most influencers.

I’m not even sure if his supposed betslips are genuine. He has a partnership with Stake, that’s obvious. Do we really think he’s making these large bets or are Stake just giving him them to post and paying him to do it.

I run a successful ladies clothing store online, we have had many public figures make instagram posts wearing our line. They didn’t pay for any of the clothing, we paid them to model it. I believe Stake do something similar with Drake. There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s the modern day version of advertising, paid promotions.

Personally, I don’t believe Drake makes these bets with his own money.

I'd love to know if you pay the influencers their complete ad money after giving them clothes. Similarly it could be what Drake and stake is working on. Personally, I knew drake as a gambler when he wagered a million dollar on stake casino. Then, later I found he's their ambassador. Many people knew drake as a gambler through stake and vice versa. The casino can easily fund his account, and he won't withdraw the funds even if he wins. As he losses, no problem. I've not seen screenshots of his, signifying a successful withdrawal. It can be fabricated. But, nothing of such have appeared on his page, while I was following him on Instagram. The complications to the truth here is, drake is a successful musician. He can fund the money. So, they should be a benefit of doubt, regarding who funds him. Stake has the money to do that as well. Otherwise, on a marketing perspective stake is doing what you did with Influencers. You can't advertise on your page what you don't use, and expect massive leads. Rick Ross for instance, always goes along with belaire rose drink almost in all his photos and videos. Such marketing technique helps to memorize the product on the brain of his fans. Have you thought of trying out a single influencer with huge following, doing same thing for your clothing store? Instead of moving from one influencer to another. I tried this with two twitter influencers, the generated lead was average because it was just a month marketing campaign. Going with one big influencer for a long time, definitely builds relationship between the product and their followers. The followers will love what the influencer promotes and would love to wear the kind of clothe they're putting on. Even coke take promotional photos meant for advertisement. By having a celebrity hold a bottle of coke in the photo, then share on his or her social media page.

To be honest I don't really care whether he get sponsored by Stake or not because it's a part of marketing strategy. Other casinos even do "more" than Stake, they don't mind to lying as long as they can attract people to gamble. Like showing if there's no lose in their casino and when you suffer lose, it means you need to deposit more money etc.

Has Drake even won one single bet he has made on Stake?
Yes, there's Grin

Money laundering in its best Cheesy Has Drake even won one single bet he has made on Stake? Or he just looses every single bet in big events? Even though there are logic in his bets, he somehow looses. Could it be that the events are fixed so that casino would win his bet? Cheesy There is so much to speculate on Drake. I bet this topic gonna be pumped with comments like a balloon.

My two cents. Even if he is sponsored with stake, uses it as a laundry or whatever truth is, rich people have different mind sets. They can afford to lose that. Even if he has gambled with own money, how much he has lost? Less than 1% of his funds? That is nothing for him. He does not make this bets every day.

Quote
Rapper Drake lost $850,000 on Logan Paul's fight with Dillon Danis - despite backing the right man to win. Paul took on Danis over six rounds last night alongside KSI's defeat by Tommy Fury in Manchester. Paul dominated the first five rounds before Danis was disqualified in the final session for attempting to choke out his rival. Paul was declared the winner - but not by knock out as Drake had predicted. The rapper, who is seen as something of a curse given his poor gambling record, had staked $850,000 (£700,000) on Paul to win by stoppage and would have collected $1.3million (£1m) had he been successful.

The Drake's Curse.

He lost on the right man. We have experienced losses but not as bad as this...this is just terrible.

What do the gambling folks have to say about this?
How is this terrible? Are you talking about the money he lost or you are talking about why he lost when he choose the right man? That is it I guess, even if you place bet on the most active team players or champions someone will always defeat them when you don't expect it, that is what happened to Drake and this isn't anything related to been Cursed.

I believe he is ready to lose that amount of money but damn it's a lot for majority of people, this should stand as a warning for those who place bet thinking the outcome will favor them because they bet on the best, it still doesn't matter because anything can happen.

I give him some salute though, because even after he was so sure of the outcome he still use what he can afford to lose, if this is some gambler they will go extra miles to make life changing money, thinking this is the best opportunity they will ever get in life, some would have sold their house to place the bet.

Gambling will always be gambling, even if a spiritual being give you a sure prediction of what will happen never should you place all you have on the bet because it's still high risk since it's gambling.

If I had to guess, I would say it is a mix of his own money but also money being put on the table by the casino itself. Not idea about the percentage of each side though. As far as I have read, it is a relatively common practice among casino embassadors to get some money by the casino, so they can make their events more attractive, more wager, more giveaways, to attract more viewers and that usually translate to more people signing up to the promoted casino.

Obviously we won't ever know the details, since there must be some disclosure clause in the contract about all of that. I would take to ask someone who has been an embassador of some gambling website and is willing to talk about it.
