NextImg:Drake loses staggering $250,000 on Final Four in latest sports betting hiccup

Celebrity sports betting continues to be a cash cow for sportsbooks and casinos.

Drake put down a clean $250,000 on an all-underdogs Final Four March Madness parlay with a payout of $1,580,500 if both the Florida Atlantic Owls and Miami Hurricanes had won.

This is another loss for the superstar rapper, who has seen quite his fair share of red in his sports betting account.

Last year, Drake placed a $1 million bet on Argentina to win the World Cup final – but still lost.

Adding to the pain of 2022, Drake was wildly unsuccessful in UFC betting, losing a combined $2.6 million in wagers during the year.

But a broken clock is, in fact, right twice a day, and 2023 has seen some luck turn his way.

Namely, when he successfully bet $700,000 on the Chiefs in the 2023 Super Bowl with Patrick Mahomes meticulously dismantling the Eagles’ defense en route to a 38-35 win.

Still, there is a long way to go until he gets into the black.

But many are unlikely to feel sorry for one of the wealthiest artistic creators in our nation’s history.

Yahoo! projected that the 36-year-old was worth a whopping $250 million in October, so he can afford to lose more considerable sums than most.

Still, his return on investment is nothing to write home about, and the “Drake Curse” is alive and thriving.
