Canadian musician and actor Aubrey Drake Graham, better known as Drake, has reportedly lost a significant Bitcoin (BTC) bet following Canada's defeat by Argentina in the Copa America semi-final. Drake had wagered $300,000 worth of BTC on Canada, the underdog with odds of 9.60. Had Canada won, Drake would have profited over $2.5 million in BTC.

However, Argentina, the reigning world champion, emerged victorious with a 2-0 win. This is not the first time Drake has lost substantial sums in BTC betting on sports events. His history of betting losses has led to the creation of the phrase "the Drake curse," suggesting that teams or athletes he supports tend to perform poorly. Despite these losses, the use of BTC in such high-profile bets underscores the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies in mainstream culture.
