Canadian rapper Drake placed a $1million bet that Argentina will defeat France in the final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Despite Argentina’s vixtory at tge final, Drake still lost his $1million bet placed on the South American team to defeat France.
In a video posted on Twitter the day before Argentina battled France, Drake was seen picking the Lionel Messi-led side to win the match. Drake reportedly lost his money on account of the rules on the betting platform.
According to Fox News, the issue was that Drake “bet in a market where extra time isn’t counted and the result is determined based on the score after 90 minutes of play.
As at 90 minutes full-time at the World Cup finals on Sunday in Qatar, Argentina and France were on a 2-2 draw, before playing extra-time were they both levelled at 3-3 and eventually going into penalties that saw Argentina defeat France 4-2.
Had Drake’s bet paid off, the singer would’ve walked away with $2.75 million, a win of $1.75 million.
Also in November, Drake lost $2million after placing a bet that Israel Adesanya would beat Alex Pereira in a UFC fight, which unfortunately Adesanya lost.
