Topic: The Drake's Curse. - page 4. (Read 612 times)

In my opinion, for Drake losing with that much money wouldn't be a problem. However, this is part of gambling, it doesn't matter if he loses or wins because from the start I'm sure Drake already knew the risks. No matter how confident you are in betting, the fact is that unexpected events will occur. After this we will see Drake bet again with an even bigger amount. In conclusion, there was no reason for Drake to regret this, after all he already had collateral behind this bet.

I think you have a valid idea there. For instance, celebrities affiliated to wine companies get free supplies for advertisement purpose. But, from the look of things, Drake gambles often and doesn't win often. Which resulted to the drake curse. Any team he support doesn't win. Do you think stake is getting their funds back from his losses and milk the publicity to their own personal advantage. A lot of drake fans, can easily switch to stake casino for their gambling activities. Most celebrities that doesn't promote online gambling, mainly gamble offline. Also, they don't flaunt their gambling lifestyle. Drake shares screenshots across his social media platforms, which is doing his work as an ambassador of stake casino. He is yielding the casino lots of profits and may be given the privilege to receive additional funds for gambling. It is certain, money spent on streams is sponsored by the casino for promotional purposes. I know celebrities for gambling indoors with other celebrities. Mostly card games. Although, from his deal, he may be restricted from using other online casinos, that's why we may not have seen him staking on other online casino aside stake. But, since, he is making fame too from his huge wagers, Stake may not sponsor all the money. They could pay for some percentage, while drake completes it with his own money. Probably, what the casino pays him as a brand ambassador.


He wagers on other sports on Stake casino. That's what matters. It's been a long term deal, and the both parties must have built some rapports. They work together to receive the best results. Stake is getting what they're paying for, and it's drake's duty to give them the best publicity. The argument can be, whether he uses his earnings from stake to play games or stake provides additional funds for his gambling activities. If he is playing his music money, I don't think he'll wager often times huge amounts like that. The real money comes from stake; endorsement money and commissions. Stake offers good commission to advertisers and Drake could be getting some of it for the people playing because of him. But, I'm not sure how they track the traffic he's pulling to stake casino.

$850,000 is surely big for almost of people in this world, but such amount is just like a month for Drake to earn. So even he lose that, he can get it after working for next month, it's not really affecting him.

Even he's not publicized if he's a Stake's brand ambassador or affiliator, there's a chance if he get funded by Stake when it comes to sharing the casino where he bet.

Naturally people who place such big bets on their personal accounts never put such bets out for the world to see, but with Drake it's different and being the brand ambassador  this puts stake name on the gambling map and also shows the world they are able to handle big bets without a problem which is also  Drake doing his job as a marketing and sales personnel !

Am pretty sure his playing on the companies account as he has other ways Stake pays for his patronage... probably his cut is based on commissions and all new members he onboards to Stake.

I think he was also very frustrated with losing on this bet, even though it was quite small if we measure it in terms of the amount of his wealth, he was still unlucky in every bet he made. But despite this Drake really made a pretty big bet if we look at it. but for him perhaps this is just a small bet in which he will be prepared to lose money without any deep worries.

Sometimes we see top celebrity people betting quite big and it's quite normal because they have a bigger income. But still, Gambling is of course accompanied by luck and maybe Drake is not lucky in betting this time but he always gets lots of big wins when he plays slot gambling.

I have no proof that it is although I've read some speculations but it's safe to say that matches like these are more prone to rigging. It doesn't have to take all parties to be involved - one "boxer" causing such scene is enough to turn the fight into a no contest or ending by disqualification. Those professionals that trained hard before they could step in the boxing ring are less likely to be involved in such schemes unlike the guy who attempted to choke.

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.

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.  

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.  

Ouch, how do you even explain to your friends that you  lost a bet but your pick was the right one  

Actually this loss is proof of how far greed can go and has nothing to do with the curse, had drake gone with match winner he would have gotten back that 850k with lower profits but wanted to get more money on this, better luck next time Drake.

Wait a second, are you saying this match was rigged and all that choking and stuff was planned all along ??

AFAIK if a boxer has discipline issues, such off course behaviour is expected and that is what happened and got DQed

It happens to all of us and Drake is such a rich guy that I don't really feel bad for him losing such large amounts. It's cool that he shares his betting slips online with his fans, but this could also be a marketing campaign for him. We don't know what kind of deal he has negotiated and maybe some of his losses are being paid back by the gambling companies. The good thing about sharing his betting slips before the fight is that we know it's not rigged. Drake lost already a lot of money through his betting, but if you put the money in relation to his total net worth then it not so much. Everybody shoudl be betting within his own means and only use the money he can afford to lose. I just hope that there aren't any young kids that follow Drake and think now it's cool to bet such large amounts on a fight and want to do the same. It's clearly fun and entertainment for Drake betting on these matches and he isn't doing gambling as a side business to make some money. 

He is very popular and wealthy, which makes it easy for him to attract people with his updates. If he were to promote a gambling site, which I believe he is, people might follow him in gambling on the same site. I'm not sure if the amount he lost is real or if he's just trying to promote a gambling site in that way. But as long as it's less than a million, I think it's quite reasonable, given his millions in net worth. I think he bets on various sports because I know he also wagers on NBA games, not only betting but also attending games courtside during playoffs.

He lost, that's the truth. But that big money is nothing to Drake. He will likely place a bet on another match. I don't know whether he has become a gambler who has lost control of himself or simply doesn't care if his money is lost at the gambling table.

But that is a lot of money. Maybe he could get it quickly so it wouldn't be noticeable to him if the money were lost in gambling. Maybe he was having fun with a lot of money to relieve his stress at work or whatever.

What is clear is that we have experienced losses but not as big as Drake. And we must prevent large losses.

We are no stranger to Drake and his gambling, it's no surprise that he was able to lose something we didn't expect. maybe for us, or say it is me, in that amount I can do a lot with my wishes outside of gambling. the amount of money he lost, was fantastic for me personally. well, the case is different for him. This person has abundant wealth, for him this defeat may be a normal problem and just an unpleasant day for him. however, it will not have a major impact on his financial condition. after all, this is gambling and its risks, even though we have involved it with the knowledge we have with statistics and available data. but in fact, he fully understood what he had risked.

On the other hand, suppose I were as rich as he is. perhaps, for me losing the money wagered in the bet that is the theme of this thread, is not so much of a problem. after all, he lost something with what he could afford. In fact, I'm not that familiar with boxing sports betting. However, that doesn't mean I don't like watching this type of sport. I will apply it to another type of sports betting, namely football. In football, a team that is strong, tough and sturdy, there is no guarantee that they will always win every match they play. which means, sometimes we lose in our bets, even though we have chosen the right team. and this is gambling, there is no 100% guarantee that we will win.  In fact, we are well aware of it.

I don't see reason to feel sorry for him, he is a big man and I bet that amount is something he can afford to lose so why the sorry? There are past bets where he won, isn't it? So it's expected to lose in gambling, and I like this sport because you can easily predict who the winner will be, but you ain't going to be lucky all the time, this is also why placing bets with what you can afford to lose is important, let's just think for a sec if Drake uses 80% of his whole net worth to place this bet because he was so sure that his man will win and he lost, that means he is going broke.

Gambling should be placed with sense, even if you are so sure what the result would be there is a small chance that you will be wrong, are you willing to put all your money at risk on such a thing? Things won't always go the way we want it that's why you need to calculate on both sides, everything that looks like a good advantage always has a disadvantage too.

OP I think you should erase the Curse thing off this topic, I thought it was something more serious but this rapper isn't cursed in any way, some gamblers on here have lost rounds of the game more than Drake though the money might not be as huge as what drake used to place a bet but losing in gambling isn't curse, it is the way gambling is, losing is normal when you gamble.

I wonder how his endorsement deal with Stake works. Their brand is all over his Instagram, where he has over 143 million followers. Every time he posts a bet slip it gets noticed by major publications. The reason why Drake's Curse is even a thing is because of the enormous publicity he receives. It wouldn't be unreasonable to assume he is making as much money as some of the highest paid athletes in the world. Betting a few hundred thousand is probably nothing to him. What he earns from the endorsement is more than enough to cover his losses.

Drake is one of the richest rappers in the industry, and I think, losing that kind of amount of money does not hurt him that much because he is literally a millionaire, and he can earn that money again. Maybe he's only doing it for fun, and that immense amount of money is what he can pay in exchange for entertainment.
Maybe for us it is a huge loss (and I still think it is), but maybe for him it's just a small thing. And I think these are just very common with rich people, because this is their way of having fun and entertaining themselves. And Drake is just one of the many public figures who loves gambling, and for sure that wasn't the highest bet and loss that a celebrity had.

There are gamblers that lose huge amounts of money much bigger than Drake loses but they are not made public, Drake is a prominent celebrity gambler and all his moves and bets are closely watched, Drake is losing a lot of money I don't think he can keep up if this continues even if you have a well of money it will soon get emptied if the losing streak continues.

Drake is just one example of a gambler who will not just stop with his losses and will try to recover his losses, let's see if the curse continues he better stop now or else he will go bankrupt or lose his mind no man can keep with those losses.

That's just one game, and you're already calling it a curse? Come on, Drake is a multimillionaire, and he is known to be a high roller. That's just something he can afford to lose, for sure. Since he's already a fan of gambling, I'm sure there are bigger wins or losses that haven't been disclosed yet.

I would only consider it a curse if Drake goes through a cold streak resulting in losses of at least $100 million, which is almost half of his net worth. For now, this isn't a huge issue for him; he'll bounce back anyway, with the mentality of a gambler.

It is funny that Drake always seems to lose his bets. He is a man in that he doesn’t take the easy bets at least. The safe play would have been Logan Paul to win but he went with the knockout as to make it a worth while payday for himself. I’m sure he’ll win one eventually. Probably free money from the advertiser anyway.

There's no need to exaggerate the defeat because that amount is very large for most people, but not for Drake, who has a net worth much bigger than that, and the defeat he experienced is like he is giving a small portion of what he has earned from gambling sites that use his services as brand ambassadors.
Losing when we feel we have chosen the right man is normal in betting because even though we bet at odds of 1.01 the chances of winning and losing are 50:50 because anything can happen and it is out of our control as bettors.
So Drake certainly knows the risks, that's why he only bets a small amount for the size of his ability, and if I'm not mistaken, he also lost another bet some time ago with an amount that was not much different.
