Drake, ever the high-roller and sports enthusiast, decided to back his home turf with a hefty $300,000 bet on Canada against the mighty Argentina in the Copa América semifinal.
Spoiler alert: Canada’s underdog status wasn’t just for show, leading to a not-so-surprising 2-0 defeat and yet another hefty addition to Drake’s staggering betting losses.
Drake’s High-Stakes Bet
The $300,000 Gamble
Drake, who clearly has a penchant for living on the edge—and possibly regretting it—staked a whopping $300,000 on Canada, riding on a cocktail of hope and national pride.
With Canada boasting odds that only a wishful optimist could love, he was looking at an exhilarating $2.88 million payoff.
Spoiler alert: he might as well have set that money on fire for warmth.
Canada’s Underdog Status
Canada, with odds less attractive than expired milk (+1000), faced an Argentina team favored at -310, indicating the ominous disparity.
It’s as if Drake bet on a puppy to outgrow a full-grown St. Bernard overnight.
Predictably, Canada couldn’t crack Argentina’s defense, concluding their dreams and Drake’s bet with a 2-0 scoreboard that was as disappointing to him as a half-eaten birthday cake.
Another day, another loss—the “Drake curse” strikes again.
Argentina’s Victory and the Aftermath
The Match Outcome
In a twist that surprised no one except maybe Drake himself, Argentina cruised to a 2-0 victory over Canada. With Canada playing like they had skates on instead of cleats, Argentina barely broke a sweat.
Lionel Messi, despite being old enough to be called “uncle” by some of his teammates, led his squad like a maestro. Drake’s optimism sunk faster than a lead balloon.
Social Media Trolling
Adding salt to the wound, Argentina’s national team didn’t just win—they came prepared with ammo for a social media roast. Their Instagram account referenced Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” essentially pulling a digital wedgie on Drake.
The cheeky caption “Not like us, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐮𝐬” was a mic drop moment heard around the Twitterverse. Drake, adding to his unfortunate collection of L’s, probably wished he could bet on his own team not trolling him—at least he’d have some winnings.
The Drake Curse
Drake’s foray into the world of high-stakes betting reads like a tragicomedy. You’d think that with his history of losses, he’d consider adopting a safe hobby, like knitting. But no, he dives in head-first every time, wallet wide open, as if wagering on his favorite underdog team will finally break the infamous “Drake curse.”
Spoiler: It doesn’t.
A History of Wins and Losses
For every glittering victory, like his Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl bet, there are enough losses to make a casino weep. Whether it’s backing the Edmonton Oilers to win the Stanley Cup or putting faith in Tyson Fury, Drake accumulates losses faster than he drops mixtapes.
His betting history resembles a stormy love affair—intense, short-lived wins followed by prolonged sessions of sorrow and heartbreak.
Public Reactions
The public reactions? Equal parts schadenfreude and bemusement. Social media feeds inhabit a mixture of “told-you-so” memes and supportive fans urging him to quit while he’s… well, definitely not ahead.
Every bet Drake makes sends Twitter into a frenzy, a cocktail of digital applause and heckles. The “Drake Curse” has become the running joke of sports betting circles, proving that even superstars aren’t immune to epic fails.
Maybe next time…
So, Drake’s latest bet was a classic case of optimism meeting reality, and reality won 2-0.
While the “Drake Curse” continues its undefeated streak, at least his betting failures keep us entertained.
Maybe next time he should just bet on himself not winning; he might finally break even.
