Drake Wins $1 Million Bet On Argentina Beating France In World Cup

by

Argentina defeated France in the FIFA World Cup today, and Drake won big as a result. It was a nail-biting game between the two soccer titans, going to extra time and a shootout. While France’s powerhouse Kylian Mbappé scored thrice, Argentina’s superstar Lionel Messi scored two of their seven total goals to secure the win. The Canadian artist bet $1 million on the Latin American country’s victory, and casino streamer Roshtein matched it for France.

“@roshtein my bet is in for tmrw @stake,” Drake wrote via Instagram on a screenshot of his bet. While both bet a million, Drake’s payout was $2,750,000, while Roshtein’s (real name Ishmale Schwartz) was $100,000 more. When Schwartz posted his bet, he wrote “Oui monsieur @champagnepapi vive la France @stake.”

While this ended up going great for the 6 God, many thought that he infected Argentina with the “Drake curse.” Moreover, he built a reputation for associating with teams that end up losing, even though there are always exceptions. However, it’s not hard to see why it’s become a thing. In October, Drake bet on FC Barcelona to beat Real Madrid, which was unsuccessful. The team even wore a special jersey as part of their Spotify partnership that featured the OVO owl.

After Drizzy posed with Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero for a picture, they lost the Champions League. In other sports, the trend also lines up. The Clemson Tigers won the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship, yet Drake wore an Alabama hoodie before the match. Also, there’s the case of once-undefeated boxer Anthony Joshua. He lost for the first time in his professional career against Andy Ruiz Jr. in June of 2019 after getting the Toronto rapper’s support.

What we know for sure is that Drake will keep winning. He announced recently that he’ll be going on tour next year, which is sure to get fans ecstatic.

Drake Bet On Argentina For The World Cup Final, Which Has Fans On Edge

Ahead of tomorrow’s World Cup final, Drake has let it be known that he is betting on Argentina to win the closing game against France. Depending on who you’re rooting for, this could be a good thing or a bad thing.

See, Drake doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to making bets or expressing fandom to certain athletes or teams. While he is known to make allusions to professional sports and athletes in his songs, as well as share photos of himself wearing team jerseys. However, his outward support has not always worked out in his favor.

Some examples of teams and athletes who have fallen victim to the “Drake curse” include Conor McGregor, who lost his fight in a fourth-round submission to Russian fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, after McGregor shared a picture with the rapper in 2018. Just months later, Drake shared a video of him working out while wearing a University Of Alabama hoodie in support of their college football team. Just a week later, the Roll Tide would lose 44-16 to the Clemson Tigers.

Needless to say, Argentina fans are on edge.

Check out some of the hilarious fan reactions above.

The World Cup Final takes place tomorrow at 10 a.m. EST. You can stream the game on Peacock.
