Drake’s latest high-stakes sports wager ended in a major loss after Argentina fell to Spain in the World Cup final. Drake’s $1.5 million bet went up in smoke after backing Argentina to defeat Spain in Sunday’s World Cup final, only to see Spain emerge with a 1-0 victory after extra time. The Canadian superstar placed the bet through Stake and stood to collect more than $5.1 million had Argentina lifted the trophy. The loss marks the latest chapter in the long-running superstition that athletes and teams publicly backed by Drake somehow wind up on the losing end. The defeat follows another costly miss just days earlier, when Drake lost $1 million after picking Conor McGregor to win his UFC bout against Max Holloway. While the “Drake Curse” has become a running joke among sports fans over the years, Sunday’s World Cup final gave its believers yet another piece of evidence.
