Topic: The Drake's Curse. - page 6. (Read 975 times)

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.

There is not much to say, he made a bet and he lost, he is no different than all of us in that sense, the only difference is the amount of money that he is losing with each bet, but the guy is a millionaire which can afford it and at the same time he works for a casino as well, so he is likely receiving a good pay for all of those bets that he makes, in a nutshell I am not worried at all about him and the losses he may have suffered in the past while gambling.

I don't know what the news is here in the relevance that you want to put it, the real news is that he lost for a BB bet, nothing special, then, the odds improve when the winner is very feasible.

There are truly terrible losses when they are done very poorly, which is not the case here.

You want to see terrible losses, there are many others, but I recommend Nosebleed Game (poker), where money is lost in hundreds of thousands of dollars in just seconds or minutes... And there, if there are bad decisions, tilt, coalition... in short it was not a good guide or game path for everyone to follow.

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.

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.

Not much to say.
It would not be the first time a celebrity losses and significant amount of money while betting, in the end, this is certainly money he can afford to lose and the point is for him to get entertainment out of it, I guess. Also keeping in mind the sponsorships he must have.

It is something it could have happened to anyone of us, but cetainly cannot ignore the bad record Drake has had lately when comes to losing money to casinos. Perhaps, he is just not as lucky as he would have been expected to be when he got into this interesting gambling hobby/world.

Though, it could be just matter of time before Drake's luck turns and starts having some wins over his bets.

As a gambler you should understand that favourite most times doesn't win the game, that is why is called prediction. for you to predict and get the person that will successfully win the fight, shows that you have foresight. so you're ability analysis and get it right, show's that you know who will be the winner of the day. so if Drake's losses on this one, obviously his gambling foresight for this particular fight was inaccurate. Drake is millionaire, and his also a high staker in gambling. Though there a lots of good wins I've seen from him, His a professional gambler, and that title comes with you losing good money too. The higher the risk, the higher the reward they say, though the amount he has lost so far, wouldn't get to him financially because his a rich guy.

This is just a normal loss relatively speaking.  Drake is worth a quarter billion dollars.  This is like a normal person losing a couple hundred dollars.  It sucks buts not going to change your day.  Boxing bets like this are typical in that you bet the type of way they are gonna win or in what rounds.  So a ton of times people bet the right side but still lose.  It's like betting the favorite in football.  They win but don't cover the spread and you lose, same thing.

Well if you are a gambler, it is easy to claim to be very disciplined and not willing to spend the kind of amount drake spends on gambling when you do not have the kind of money Drake spends on gambling. If you are in the same financial class as Drake, you will not consider the money he uses to gamble as so much because that is an amount of money that you can afford to do without being that you earn so much. Sometimes do not act to be so disciplined when you have not been exposed to the kind of privileges that money can bring.

To be honest, when I see him spending so much money every time on gambling, it makes me think that he is mainly promoting casinos only and not using actual money (that's my opinion), and this applies not only to his sport bettings but also to other games like roulette where he spends for exemple, one million dollar on a single roulette spin!

If it's genuinely his own money that he's using to bet and not a fake account given by the casino, then he might have a serious addiction. Regardless of his net worth, spending such a significant amount of money that could have a big impact in many people lives if he just donate it. And my question is, does he really enjoy doing this and how does he handle all the losses?

Remind me next time to bet against Drake's wager lol.

well, it was not his first big loss and definitely will not be his last. as a high roller gambler, he can easily get back such losses and for sure, he won't be very upset about such loss. or maybe, just for a second. but he won't be talking about it for long. we have seen how much he bets as he is regularly posting on his feed. just like this one, and of course, he betted at stake, a high roller ambassador of this gambling site. it is said he's already wagered like more than $1B at stake, so this one is no big deal.

I have zero sympathy for someone throwing away such vast sums of money for relatively low returns. Gambling is a zero sum game, you either win or you lose, there is no partial payments or return of money on any result. Anyone driven by greed like this deserves to have it taken from them. However I'm skeptical that he even placed the bet, because he was rather shady in his dealing and endorsements from Stake.com, promoting them early on but only announcing a partnership a few months later. Either way, barring the disqualification the fight was extremely close and could have gone to Danis if he did not pull such a foul move. However the boxing world, even this offshoot of it, is all rather murky and it wouldn't surprise me if the outcomes were rigged in advance.

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.

well, I had already mentioned that the rich can afford to play with a lot of money, when they put 2 million dollars in a casino to play, they already know that if they lose those 2 million dollars today in the casino, in In a few days they will have a profit of 2 million dollars coming from their businesses, so it's not like they are in despair when they lose money at the casino, they have enough money to pay their bills, for example when a rich guy puts in 1 million dollars and loses everything, he leaves to spend more money in a bar and with women, he doesn't even waste time crying because he lost money in a casino

Just look at cases of football players, the guys play and lose the game, but at night the guys are partying with women and drinking beer. This is the same thing that happens with rich people when they go to physical casinos, they go to have fun at the casino. but this does not happen with middle class and poor people, they play to be lucky enough to get rich and in the process they make the mistake of putting emotions into games and this leads to addiction, and in many cases middle class people and poor people play to forget the problems of the real world, in some cases they are financial problems

see that the rich spend a lot of money on drugs, they lose money in casinos and on drugs, sex and alcoholic beverages is part of their daily lives, a person like Drake, without a doubt, when he loses in a casino he will also spend more money in bars and with other things and the next day more money enters his bank account. Those rich guys have a lot of people taking care of their business so they don't end up in poverty, so it's unlikely they would lose everything gambling.

The winning was not the usual way and I'm sure drake didn't envisage it to come that way. He probably was confidence for winning his bet because he bet right but the unfortunate happened. That is why it is betting, anything can happen before the end of the bet.

However, drake is not a newbie gambler. He knows he has to protect his finance by not betting what he can't let go. He has lots of money and does giveaway alot to his fans, so he might also see this as one of those giveaways. Drake is a huge staker and this won't stop him to trying to hit more jackpots.

I am not sure if there really is to say, the guy was just unlucky. I mean, Logan can definitely knock out Dillon(but there is still no guarantee about that) but who would have thought that Dillon would try to choke Logan during the fight and get himself disqualified. anyway, I have to say, that Dillon knew he wouldn't win and could possibly get knocked out, and that's why he decided to do what he did. In his eyes, it is better to get disqualified than to possibly get knocked out.

Sometimes I believe that the bigger the asset the higher the level of risk you take both in gambling,  trading or any other aspect of life,  losing such an amount is not a big deal for a high roller like Drake,  he has won a lot of money for such risks,  we only hear of his loses,  but what about his winning days.

He has a lot of contracts going on for him right now,  so I am sure losing that amount is not a big deal for Drake at this point in time.

His pick was right, Logan just didn't win the right way. Such an unfortunate, no one could really guess this as it's more like a random thing, getting disqualified does not often happen in every card. He must have won with Tommy but this isn't publicized.

In the article, also mentioned he lost $500k in the fight of Adesanya vs Strickland. With this loss, he isn't the only one who lost an amount. The upset really maade bettors scratching their heads.

Not much except that this shit can happen to anyone.Good luck he is being sponsored heavily by Stake and he will be feeling that punch a bit less than spending all his money from his own.It is stupid I would say to bet that huge amount on any event and even if you are sure that the event will end as you predict you can never know.

Of course he is a rapper and he does not care much as he makes a ton of money so that amount maybe is ridiculous to someone like him but to most of us it is a life changing event and we are waiting for some huge win from quite some years now without any luck,I guess this is the life not being fair to at least 96% of world population.

He is Stake official ambassador and probably that loss money is part of their partnership. I don’t consider this as terrible if it’s Drake since that kind of amount is just his one round total bet on a roulette table the last time I watch his live stream playing on Stake live games.

Back on topic, I rarely experience this because I don’t bet on a special conditional bet type of games. I’m more on match winner or handicap matches since predicting the exact outcome is really hard to do that’s why it’s odds is very high as a clear implication on how to hit it accurately.
