Drake leaves fans stunned as he shares 'reverse curse' World Cup bet

Rap superstar Drake has shared his most bizarre bet yet as he revealed a 'reverse curse' World Cup wager.

As well as being one of the biggest artists of all time, Drake is also known for 'cursing' athletes and sports teams in a trend which has gone crazy over the years.

Any time 'Iceman' posed with a famous athlete or gave his support, he would then be blamed for the outcome if they lost.

It then extended to Drake's bets on sports and appeared to be reignited when he whacked £149,000 on Jake Paul beating Anthony Joshua in Miami in December.

Paul had his jaw broken in a one-sided defeat at the Kaseya Center and lost Drake money again after his 2023 bet backing him to beat Tommy Fury.

'Champagne Papi' has lost big on UFC fights and also blew $300,000 in 2024 when he tipped his beloved Canada to beat Argentina in the Copa America semi-final.

More recently he's fared better and put $770,000 for Canada to beat South Africa in their first ever World Cup knockout game.

Jesse Marsch's side qualified for the round of 16 after Stephen Eustaquio popped up with a last-gasp winner at the SoFi Stadium.

Having forfeited the home advantage they had for all their group games as co-hosts, Canada take on an impressive Morocco side in Houston.

Drake has decided to do something very different with an anti-jinx bet, backing Morocco to win with Stake.

The 39-year-old shared the slip on Instagram, showing he had put just $1 and would only win $1.41 if Morocco qualified for the quarter-finals for the second World Cup in a row.

Captioning his post, Drake wrote: "Won the last time…gonna try reverse curse strategy @stake."

Comments flooded Drake's post, with many stunned at both the amount Drake had bet and the fact he went against his own team.

One user wrote: "No way you are betting against Canada."

A second said: "Reverse jinx in full effect let’s go Canada."

A third commented: "No way bro staked one dollar."

Another person fumed: "Bro, Against your country."

Drake signed shirt for World Cup star's wife after appearance in the stands

In the last World Cup, Drake placed a $1 million bet for Argentina to beat France in the final.

However, despite Lionel Messi finally becoming a world champion, the bet did not come in as Argentina won on penalties after a 3-3 draw and he had predicted a victory in 90 minutes.

Drake finally attended his first game at the World Cup on Thursday as he was spotted in the stands at the BMO Field in home city of Toronto for Portugal's dramatic win over Croatia, who had a 103rd minute equaliser overturned by VAR due to a controversial offside call.

Drake posed for a picture with Portugal icon Cristiano Ronaldo afterwards and revealed the five-time Ballon d'Or winner had signed a shirt for his son Adonis.

Drake also signed the shirt of Portugal match-winner Goncalo Ramos for his fiancee Margarida Amaral Domingues.

She tagged both Drake and her other half on Instagram, with the caption, "You are the best," alongside a heart emoji.
