NextImg:Drake bets $300K on Canada over Argentina in Copa America semifinal

Drake is betting big on Canada to beat Argentina during Tuesday night’s Copa America action. 

The Canadian rapper and notorious sports gambler put $300,000 down on Canada to take down Argentina in 90 minutes in the semifinal round.

At +960, if the bet hits, Drake would win $2.88 million.

He’s going to need a massive upset if he doesn’t want to be out of $300,000 by the end of the night. 

Canada is a +1000 underdog at FanDuel Sportsbook, while Argentina is -310 to win. 

The pair is +400 to finish in a tie. 

The bet on Canada is just the latest in a long line of massive gambles for Drake.

Last month, Drake wagered $500,000 on the Oilers to win the Stanley Cup at the onset of the series, which he lost after Edmonton fell to the Panthers in Game 7.

He also lost another $500,000 on the Mavericks to win the NBA Finals at +175 after the Celtics took home the Larry O’Brien trophy. 

“Dallas cause I’m a Texan,” Drake wrote on his Instagram account. “Oilers are self-explanatory.”

In May, Drake took another big loss after he put $565,000 on Tyson Fury ahead of his undisputed heavyweight championship bout with Oleksandr Usyk.

Usyk won the fight, a split-decision thriller which included a near stoppage of Fury in Round 9.

Earlier this year, Drake was accused by Kendrick Lamar of having a gambling addiction amid their back-and-forth beef.
