Famous Canadian musician Drake lost a big Bitcoin bet after Canada beat Argentina in the Copa America semi-finals. 🎵⚽️
Drake often bets large amounts on popular sporting events. Earlier this week, he placed a $300,000 Bitcoin (BTC) bet on Canada beating Argentina. However, Argentina won the match with a 2-0 victory.
This isn't the first time Drake has lost large sums of money betting on similar events. Last month, he placed a $500,000 BTC bet on the Dallas Mavericks beating the Boston Celtics in the NBA finals. However, the Massachusetts club achieved its league record 18th with a final score of 106-88.
Drake's multiple losses in betting led to the creation of the phrase "Drake curse." This statement refers to a superstition that any team or athlete that Drake openly supports generally tends to perform poorly.
