Drake Loses $355K After Betting On Mike Tyson To Beat Jake Paul

by

Drake has taken lots of bumps and bruises in 2024. The rapper lost the biggest hip hop battle of the 21st century, despite turning in a strong effort. He lost $300K betting on Canada in the Copa America game, then $500K betting on the winner of the Stanley Cup. Well, the 6 God took another L on Friday, as Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson in a boxing match. Drake put $355K down on Iron Mike to secure the victory, but it wasn’t even close. Seriously. Paul won the match by unanimous decision.

Drake posted his betting stub in the hours leading up to the Paul vs. Tyson fight. “I’m late but I’m here money on the liiiiiiiiine for today,” he wrote on Instagram. “And tmrw @stake I need some dubs.” Well, he did not secure those dubs. Drake and fellow Young Money alumni Tyga bet big on Mike Tyson to pull an upset, and he did anything but. Fans in the crowd actually started booing during the later rounds, and it was widely inferred by many that Paul was taking it easy on Tyson out of respect. DJ Akademiks posited this on Twitter. He also decided to poke fun at Drake for losing yet another huge sports bet.

Drake Continues His Streak Of Losing Sports Bets

“Drake my mans,” Ak tweeted. “But once I seen him bet on Tyson I knew he lost.” This sentiment was echoed throughout the Twittersphere, actually. Lots of people were betting on Mike Tyson to win, and were horrified to see that the 6 God put money down on their side. The memes were plentiful, and even professional accounts like ESPN Bets got in on the fun. They posted a gif of a panicked Jon Bernthal in The Punisher under the text: “Mike Tyson bettors after seeing Drake bet on him to win.”

Other fans were more bitter in their responses. “Mike Tyson might not have won but at least Drake lost,” one of them tweeted out. Then there was a user who noted, as we did at the top, that Drizzy has really had a brutal calendar year. “Dude can’t catch a break this year,” they pointed out. We could list out the other captions that fans provided, but we think a roundup of the funniest and most notable reactions to the Drake curse would be more effective. Check out our top picks below.

YNW Melly Verdict: Betting Website Accepts Wagers As Rapper Continues To Gain Streamers

by

It was reported last week that YNW Melly’s double murder trial will likely go on for at least another month. The 23-year-old has been behind bars on accusations of killing his two friends – YNW Juvy and YNW SakChaser – in 2018. Nevertheless, he’s consistently maintained his innocence. Melly’s trial so far has been filled with ups and downs. At this time, it’s hard to say whether the embattled artist will walk away a free man, or face the death penalty for his alleged crimes.

As Vibe reports, the internet continues to speculate about what the Florida native’s fate will be. Of course, some people are bypassing taste completely with their discourse. For instance, @betonline_ag is offering a $100 Freeplay to one lucky winner who comments under a recent Instagram post with their opinion on whether Melly is guilty or not. “Bet on @ynwmelly’s trial at the link in @BetOnline_ag’s bio and get a sign-up bonus of up to $1,000,” the company further urged viewers.

As expected, the comment section has filled with reactions, some of them insisting that Melly is responsible for his friend’s deaths and others siding with the “Murder on my Mind” hitmaker. “No way y’all got odds for bro freedom 😂😂😂😂,” one person responded to the post on Sunday (July 9). “He literally made a song admitting it 😂,” another pointed out.

Speaking of his music, as Bryson “Boom” Paul reports, Melly’s streaming numbers have consistently increased since his trial began in June. This week there was a 1.2% growth, marking 143,445 new monthly listeners. While still impressive, it’s actually the accused killer’s lowest increase as of late.

Drake Drops Insane Cash On NBA Finals Bet

by

Drake has a massive contract with the crypto gambling site Stake. Overall, this is a company that has sponsored a lot of people, including creators who stream. They seem to have a whole lot of money, and they are not afraid to spend it. Although they may get criticism for being a gambling site, they are still going strong. Much of this has to do with Drizzy’s constant social media posts in which he shows off his massive sports bets. Although Drake has lost his fair share of bets, he has also won quite a few.

In the Instagram post down below, you can see that he bet on the NBA Finals. Here, we have two bets. Firstly, he opted to bet $250K on the Denver Nuggets beating the Miami Heat in five games. This would win him $850,000. Secondly, he bet $1 million on the Nuggets to win the series outright. This would only gain him $1.23 million as the odds are in the Nuggets’ favor. Overall, this is a series that the Denver Nuggets should win, especially with how they won Game 1.

Drake Predicts The NBA Finals

If you watched last night, you would have seen a Nuggets team that truly dominated from start to finish. While the Heat came on strong in the fourth quarter, it was too little too late. The Nuggets are just a powerhouse of a team, and consequently, very few people have the Heat coming back. The Nuggets are undefeated at home in these playoffs, and that likely will not change. It’s sad, but ultimately true.

In our prediction, which you can read below, we said that the Nuggets would win this series in 5. Drake must be a HotNewHipHop reader. All jokes aside, this series is not going to be close, although we wish it was. Let us know what you thought of Game 1, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.

Underdog Fantasy Offers Hilarious Promotion For Sixers-Celtics

by

Underdog Fantasy is a newer name in the world of sports betting, but they have wasted no time in making a splash. They can be seen sponsoring the likes of Kofie Yeboah and ThatsGoodSports. Their primary selling point is that they aren’t like other betting platforms, putting the fun in “draining your FUNds on Jordan Poole.”

However, it’s rare that you see a betting platform hit #1 on the Twitter trending page. You’d think that would be because they did something heinous. Betting platforms also trend when there is a ridiculous story. These are usually about mega bets gone wrong or something similar. However, Underdog Fantasy is hitting the top of the trending page thanks to a hilarious new promotion.

Win $1000 For Embiid Flopping

Posted on May 11, Underdog Fantasy found the perfect way to engage fans ahead of a pivotal Game 6 between the Celtics and Sixers. “Every time Joel Embiid falls on the floor tonight, we will give away $1,000 to a random entrant who quote tweets this with their Underdog username and includes #UnderdogFantasy,” the tweet reads. A follow-up tweet states that entries will close at 7pm on May 11. Additionally, winners will receive their prize in “underdog credit” on May 12. Although, all of this could hilariously backfire if Embiid stays on his feet tonight. Underdog Fantasy has not provided an over/under on Embiid’s FPG (flops per game).

While Joel Embiid’s flopping antics are not the worst in the NBA, they are definitely noticeable. Furthermore, they have been especially scrutinized during the playoffs. One particular incident of note came when Embiid got off lightly for kicking Nic Claxton in the nuts during Game 3 against the Nets. However, what exactly is Underdog hoping for here? Do they want a clean game from Embiid so they don’t have to shell out thousands of dollars? Or are they hoping that his flopping antics will generate revenues that outweigh the flop cost? Because even if it essentially store credit that’s being paid out, that money still has to come from somewhere. What do you think about all this? Let us know in the comments below.

Gisele Bündchen Is Betting Favorite To Date Tiger Woods

by

Sometimes, people who make their guesses as to who will date who next can go a little too far. On the website BetOnline, people declared Gisele Bündchen as the betting favorite to date Tiger Woods. Moreover, both celebrities recently went through public splits to varying degrees of intensity. For example, the Brazilian supermodel recently finalized divorce from NFL superstar quarterback Tom Brady. Since that split, both parties spoke on its amicable nature and wished each other the best moving forward. Still, that hasn’t stopped relationship rumors from flying her way.

On the other hand, Woods called it quits with Erica Herman late last year, and isn’t rumored to be actually dating Bündchen. Instead, people just believe that she’s the most likely candidate to date the golf star next, at least on that particular forum. However, Tiger’s split from Herman became considerably nastier in the public headlines. Furthermore, his girlfriend of six years filed a $30 million lawsuit over how things ended. Even though he’s had his fair share of relationship up-and-downs and accusations, people are still interested in his love life.

People Think Tiger Woods Will Date Gisele Bündchen

Other candidates that people bet on for the 47-year-old’s next flame also included Kim Kardashian. Also, Shakira got a fair number of bets on her, given her recent and very public breakup with soccer star Gerard Piqué. In addition, people also bet on Amber Heard, so it seems like people just cheaply name-dropped celebrities who had recent messy splits. Paige Spiranac also got some votes, who is a golf influencer and model. Inexplicably, Woods’ ex Lindsey Vonn has the same odds as adult film stars and other celebrities, making tantalizing matches.

Meanwhile, Gisele Bündchen recently expressed a new emphasis on mindfulness and positive energies on Instagram. Perhaps a relationship with the famous golfer would be nice, but both are probably more focused on themselves right now. Still, despite the oddity of making money off a person’s dating choice, people will hustle where they find it. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Gisele Bündchen and Tiger Woods.

Drake Could Win $2Million If These NFL Teams Win In Week 4

by

Drake is known for putting his money where his mouth is. After becoming an ambassador for crypto betting site Stake, the Canadian rapper has shared many of the wins and losses her experienced while gambling. With more wins than L’s, Drake shows no signs of slowing down his pricey wagering. On Thursday, Stake shared that one of their customers could potentially have huge payday if three risky bets pay off.

The Certified Lover Boy is the customer in question, slated to take home $2.2 million if the Miami Dolphins to beat last season’s Super Bowl runners-up, the Cincinnati Bengals during the league’s week 4 games.

While the odds aren’t in Drake’s favor at all, he is estimated to win over $2.248 million if he all three bets pay off. The chart topping rapper reposted Stake’s Instagram image that read, “A huge one coming from @champagnepapi For the NFL this weekend [exploding head emoji].”

In the last three months, Drizzy has wagered close to $1Billion in bets, according to reports. His go to stakes include the NFL, NBA and international sports like the UFC and Formula 1. No word on how much money the star has raked in altogether. However, back in May, he revealed that he cashed in more than $2.6 million on a parlay bet involving two Stanley Cup Game 7 matchups and an NBA Game 7.

When announcing his partnership with the betting company, Drake stated, “I am going to be announcing a date for an upcoming live event where I play to win some real money and give it all to you because what’s better than sharing the love with my people [money emoji] stay tuned for details.”
