I don't know about being "cursed" but I think he made a logical decision on Logan winning by KO or TKO. He just made a bad choice placing bets on these types of matches where it's more likely to get rigged than real professional boxing. It's stupid in my opinion but I guess there's money to be made so sponsors keeps shoving it down to people's throats.

Yes, he just probably lost his bet, that's it, just like the rest of us here. Perhaps it was the amount that is in question and not about being "cursed" or what. He should have go with the ML bet, it's safe. But I guess he wants more and maybe the odds is not attractive to him and so he goes for the over/under bet.

Nevertheless, it just a reminder to everyone, that gambling is no fun if you are going to lose that big amount. Yes, it might not be huge for him as he has a good source of income and even had partnership with Stake. But still though, that is a good amount of money that if we look at it, doesn't make sense to put that kind of bet on a exhibition fight.

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?

Its his money then no matter what happens then its impossible that he wasnt aware. Its gambling after all and anything could happen even if the fighter had won but the market or choice or bet he had made was different then its still a loss. Yes, frustration and disappointment is there but having that 800k loss isnt first time but we know that Drake is a heavy gambler and its not really that shocking
that losses something like this is never been a first time. For sure he had already get used to it but well thats how gambling works which you win some or lose some which it would really be that according into your choice yet there's always the risks. We know drake is a heavy gambler so this one wont be an issue and as long he does have the money they they would really be continuing on playing
and make out bets and its none of our business on how much he would be using on his gambling activity whether he would be spending millions again or have some break.
Its not new anymore about this huge amount betting. IT is really just that luck doesnt come on his way and ended up something like this.

He's been losing some of his bets, and I remember others mentioned fading him because of his luck. That big bet probably doesn't mean much for him since he's partnered with Stake, and we've seen other influencers place big bets like they're nothing to them.

It's understandable why he took it since that's where the value is when Paul was the big favorite for this match but an unexpected DQ happened.

Not really a curse but something that could happen to anyone bad luck could run continuously and so is winning, this is not only Drake there are others it's just they are not sensationalized because they are not high-profile bettors.

This is a lesson for all of us when it comes to gambling whether it is sports betting or luck-based games you could lose your bet so only play with money that you can afford to lose.

I think it's time for Drake to think of other options or moderate his greed if this continues he will find himself with an empty pocket, anyway he can always do a concert to fill his pocket but it's just a waste of money putting in huge money.

So I understand why he did this as the plain odds were pretty flat, however I would have said to split the bets between straight win and this KO outcome. It wasnt 15 rounds just the shortened match so its more likely to simply complete even if he is right on the winner quite easily it looked like.
I bet on Logan to 'complete the distance' win by decision and that bet was denied and called a loss, I dont know why that would be especially. I wasnt betting a large amount just at the last moment as I was watching, will have to figure out why it doesnt qualify so I can learn for next time. So me and Drake just alike like that Tongue

Somebody said Logan almost lost on a pure rules violation, due to the unusual end etc.

To be honest I don't believe in Drake's bets very much. They don't explain it in the article but if the bet has been taken on Stake I don't think it's his own money. IMO I think it could be a promotional bet to be honest. Even rich people don't waste their money stupidly.

This is also my thinking, maybe this is just part of promotional campaign with Stake but if Drake really loss the money because of over confident bet, then its his fault and we all know betting can also be risky especially if you complicate your bet just to win more. Logan did a great job at first, unfortunately he didn’t win via knock out, well at least he still won and got lucky for staying alive.

We can't deny how he has also made some money back then on some UFC matches. It could be stake doing there thing or it could be real game but I think that Drake is big enough to bet this kind of amount. My only fear is that if he continues this way, he will definitely go broke in 2-3 years time.

What if that match was rigged not to favor Logan, because for him to publicly display that, it will cause lots of havoc and maybe more people wanting Drake to lose instead of winning that match.

Drake is very popular I must say, I nearly place a bet with his predictions before that match because I was like if drake can bet this type of money with so much confidence, what is stopping you from reciprocating what he did, I wanted to bet that game badly but something stopped me which I'm glad I did, this is the influence of public icon.

So as any other loss out there really. I reckon any gambler out there could relate in some level, and while it's not anything rare, it does make one wince considering how much money was actually lost in that bet, which was a win but not a win. I reckon that money is just a drop in the bucket of his assets though. It's pretty much the same level as someone spending maybe 5-10% of his total monthly salary on gambling (or anything entertainment-related). I'd feel terrible if I were him, but regret? Nah.

That's just a small amount for his funds. He made the same bets during the Adesanya fights and other big events in the world of sports especially in physical contact sports. Drake loves betting on special events like this so I don't think he mind.
Also, the bet he took is a risky one in my opinion, he could just simply bet for the win of Logan Paul but he enhanced the profit by taking the KO/TKO bet which has no assurance that it could happen. And so it did not.
But this is nothing for Drake, I don't think we won't even see him regretting this bet. He just wants to show off his large sum of bet in social media and I doubt it matters to him if it will win or lose. It helps keep him upstairs on the trend and keep his popularity intact.
This is a proof of it, we are talking about him.

Drake knows his numbers very well. He won’t gamble an amount he cannot afford losing unlike us wherein that loss of him would put us in the grave. That’s just how gambling works; if the other way around happened, we’d be in both awe and envy.
Higher the risk, higher the reward. For sure there are other people out there who are betting bigger amounts than ours, and we just have different level of tolerance.Drake has been losing amounts in such value not only in this fans so for sure he won’t be as down as with all of us. If he’d be in huge debt then for sure he won’t let it end in such way.

I do not know if he can be able to afford to lose that kind of money but if I am rich like him I can not use high amount of money like that to gamble. I think gambling should be more of fun than chasing money. Drake have reality means of making money and I do not think a celebrity like that supposed to be a good example should be gambling with that huge amount if money.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅

Why always him all the time? I don't understand how a celebrity like that would prefer to wager his funds comfortably just to get more funds... What's the sense in that?? Except he's doing that to enhance and satisfy his curiosity/humor, then it's not Worth the waste at all. I'm saying this because he's been losing severally and I just keep wondering how it becomes so viral - he's never posted any of his tickets whatsoever on the gram or anywhere else...has he??..
Maybe drake enjoys going through the money reduction process .. he's seen no other better ways to do so other than being an extravagant gambler.

There is no denying the fact that Drake is a dumb gambler and many of his predictions goes through the shitter and in this case Dillon Danis does not even know how to fight let alone get into a boxing ring and Logan Paul is not known to be a knockout puncher either, placing a bet on Logan Paul and fight going the distance would be a smart move as it is only 6 rounds and neither are great boxers.

I put myself in Drake's shoes and i think i would have bet on the side Drake chose. Unfortunately we agree and we lost.

Drake does this all the time. His fortune is almost 250 Million Dollars and his bets are small compared to his fortune. Maybe the amount he bet on his last bet is enough to last us for the rest of our lives but things are different when it comes to Drake. Drake is reported to have earned 50 Million Dollars from Spotify alone. I think if i were him, i wouldn't leave the casino.

I would have a very high probability of losing my entire fortune. Drake's idea of gambling could be recreational and his constant use of the Stake platform could be an advertisement. I think that some of his high stakes gambling is not real and is done for advertising purposes. If Drake becomes an incorrigible gambler, we may see his life story evolve into the opposite in the future.

Yeah he has history of losing big in some exhibition fights and others. And if I'm not mistaken, he lost his bet on the Fury vs Jake Paul bout wherein he had Jake Paul winning. But unfortunately, Tommy Fury won that fight. It's reported that he lost like $350,000.

Drake though has a lot of money, so he can sleep over with another lost although for us this is already a big amount that we won't simply go and bet on a fight. But that's Drake though, he is a multi-millionaire, successful music rap artist and very influential too. You just have to watch some of insane bets on other games and losing millions in an instant.

This is not the first time this guy is losing large amount in gambling before he have recently been known for his high test for gambling now are days he lose in most of his bets and won some, but he still don’t stop betting, he can afford that and I don’t even think it’s anything new to him again.

Although the game result was the opposite of what most people where expecting and I don’t think he is the only one to lose this big their age gamblers who might just remained silent and don’t talk about their since their life is not lived on social media and they like keeping things silent. He will recover and I don’t even think we should feel sorry for him, his lost is another man’s win and his wins is another man’s lose.

This is not the first time he has experienced losses in gambling, where in several previous bets he experienced bigger losses than that. And it would be a shame if such a large amount of money had to be wasted on gambling. Which I personally have never seen and have never felt so much money.

If only he could behave more wisely in managing his finances, maybe he would become a rich person whose money would not run out for 7 generations. But I really admire the mental toughness he has when making a bet, where the big defeat he suffered previously was not able to make him give up and instead he did something even crazier. Which is very different from me personally, when I lost and experienced losses amounting to hundreds of dollars, it made me regret it and made me able to break down my mentality in gambling and in the end I didn't dare to bet large amounts.

I do not know why @OP calls it a curse when losing in gambling is normal. Aside from that, $850k is just a drop from Drakes wealth since Drake has way much more wealth than the lost amount. Although he bet on the right man there are several options choose from, it is that his chosen option do not win since Paul win through disqualification. Drake still lost if Paul win through decision. So I think there should be nothing to be surprised or shocked on this bet.

This kind of loss can be very frustrating because his bets were correct but were just affected by circumstances. In gambling sometimes you win and in some cases, you can lose and I am sure Drake knows this fact better than I do. He has also had some notable wins that gave him a fortune so this loss shouldn't be a big deal. Some people also think that his bets are a marketing strategy since he is an ambassador to one of the world's leading casinos. Nevertheless, I think Drake can endure this loss because he is rich.

Gambling is gambling no matter what the selections may be, if i didn't win, it didn't win and he has to face reality and move on, gambling is full of ups and downtowns and loses that are the significance of the risks in gambling and so some point he already who and weight the level and extent at which he will go in his bet, but then this lose is a big one that will affect anyone no matter what they balance are, this also goes along with the saying that gambling can ruin someone life if not properly managed.
I feel for him anyway, and I wish him better luck next time and hope he builds up a thick skin from all of this experience.

That's nothing to Drake though, I mean that's one spin for him in a roulette machine. His betting $1 million per spin and hopefully it land on his favorite number 11, so what are the odds are as compare to his bet on Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis?

Nothing spectacular bet or lose on Drake here. He will just take it on stride and then continue to gamble again and again. Others call it a curse, specially the media or even us ordinary gamblers.

But if you have that deep pocket and the way he play other games like roulette, this is just peanuts for him.

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

Drake's substantial losses might have just been a coincidence after all; more frequently compared to inaccurate, he wagers against the erroneous teams and makes jokes about such a huge amount of money. considering the documented losses haven't disturbed him. Drake constitutes both an established and popular celebrity. He was the type of gambler who really enjoyed making predictions, even to the point of severely squandering. He routinely posts the games on which he has already placed bets. Since he is significantly wealthier than any of us, he continues to generate daily income from sponsorships and his music, so this is of little concern to us. He also operates other businesses, but he will keep them off the internet since he is aware of the potential harm that the media may inflict.
