Drake extends "losing streak" after betting $335,000 on Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight
A few hours before Tyson and Paul faced off at the AT&T Stadium, Drake uploaded a screenshot of a bet he had placed against Jake on the popular sports betting platform Stake.
Drizzy's "2.85 Odds" had an estimated $1,011,750 payout, which favored Mike to win the fight, with the rapper captioning his post:
"I’m late but I’m here money on the liiiiiiiiine for today and tmrw"
With Jake Paul winning by unanimous decision, Drake essentially lost over $300,000 on this bet, adding another loss to the rapper's sports betting streak for the year.
Drake first lost a $615,000 bet in March, where he favored Francis Ngannou as the winner in his fight against Anthony Joshua. Later in May, he lost another $565,000 after favoring Oleksandr Usyk, who was defeated by British boxer Tyson Fury.
In June 2024, Drizzy lost a million dollars after placing two $500,000 bets, one on the Edmonton Oilers winning the Stanley Cup and another favoring the Dallas Mavericks as the NBA Champions. Both teams ended up losing in their respective title matches.
Another notable "Drake Betting" moment was seen during the Copa America semi-final, where the rapper lost $300,000 after Argentina defeated Canada by 2-0 in July.
Publications like TOI seem to suggest that Drake's bet on Mike Tyson stems from their professional relationship, as the legendary boxer has previously collaborated with the rapper for a limited edition OVO merch drop in 2022.
