Earlier this month, the renowned rapper from the “For All the Dogs” album, who seemed to be embracing the proud Texan vibe, took a gamble on the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Unfortunately, it was the Boston Celtics who emerged victorious and claimed the championship title.
It’s worth noting that both of these bets were made using bitcoin on the crypto casino Stake, a platform that the rapper has openly endorsed on his Instagram account multiple times. Despite the losses, it’s unlikely that the financially successful Toronto native will be too affected, considering his impressive $250 million net worth. His partnership with Stake dates back to 2020, with him reportedly earning $100 million annually in endorsements from the company.
Interestingly, any team that Drake decides to bet on might want to reconsider, as the infamous “Drake curse” has been a topic of discussion since 2019, when it was first acknowledged during the Toronto Raptors’ NBA Finals. It seems that his support doesn’t always result in the desired outcome for the teams he champions.
