The popular singer Drake bet $1 million that Argentina would defeat France in the World Cup championship match on Sunday. He however lost the money notwithstanding the outcome of the game, because his wager did not take into consideration extra time.

It seemed as though he would win $2.75 million at first because Argentina was ahead by a score of 2-0 at the half.

But something unexpected occurred. Drake's dreams were dashed in the span of only two minutes as Mr. Mbappé equalized two goals and changed the course of the match.

In extra time, both teams scored once more, and Argentina won the competition's most valuable trophy. In a tense round of penalties, the World CUP was decided.

Drake has placed wagers on a number of sporting events this year, so this is not the first time he has engaged in gambling. He wagered $1.26 million in three bets in February on the Los Angeles Rams to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl, winning $1.4 million.

He has, however, developed a reputation for supporting underdog teams, which has given rise to the often repeated joke that he is cursed.

Drake lost $100k in April.

After Drake placed a wager in their favor, Barcelona Football Club fell to Real Madrid in October.

When Drake placed a wager on Israel Adesanya to defeat Alex Pereira in a UFC middleweight title match in November, he lost $1.5 million.

The "curse" even extends beyond his significant wagers; Manchester City's Champions League loss came after Drake posed for a photo with striker Sergio Aguero. Even in 2019, AS Roma forbade their athletes from posing for photos with Drake.
