Drake placed a huge $355,000 bet on Mike Tyson to win the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight, but after Tyson’s loss, he quickly bounced back with a $954,000 win from a bet on Jon Jones. Despite the “Drake curse,” the rapper’s wealth continues to grow, proving he’s still a major player in sports betting.
Drake got rich from the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Fight
This past weekend, Drake proved that although the infamous “Drake curse” may cause him to lose bets in many events, when he knows how to play, the results can be quite different. The highly anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson on November 15th had everyone talking, and while many fans lamented the large bet Drake placed on Tyson, it was actually Drake who walked away with a huge profit from another bet.
Drake Bets on Mike Tyson, But the Win Never Comes
Before the opening bell of the fight, Drake didn’t hesitate to show a screenshot of his bet slip, revealing that he placed $355,000 on Mike Tyson to win. However, when the fight ended with Jake Paul securing a unanimous decision victory, Drake did not pocket the large sum he was hoping for. But don’t forget, Drake is not one to stay down for long.
Drake Recoups His Loss with a Win from Jon Jones
The next day, Drake quickly made up for his loss when Jon Jones successfully defended his UFC heavyweight title, bringing in a $954,000 payout. So, despite a rocky weekend, Drake still managed to “profit” over half a million dollars from his bets, proving that he doesn’t sweat losing a big chunk of change.
“Drake Curse” Can’t Take Down His Wealth
This once again proves that no matter how many times the “Drake curse” hits, he’s still one of the richest and most successful bettors in the game, making serious money off major sports events. Even though he’s had some painful losses in the past, like losing $2.88 million when betting on Canada to beat Argentina in the Copa America or losing $500,000 betting on Tyson Fury, Drake always finds a way to bounce back and make his fortune grow.
Drake: The Real King of Sports Betting
Drake isn’t just a rapper; he’s a true “sports betting king.”. Despite the losses, he continues to rake in massive amounts of money from high-profile sports events. With new wins like this one, it’s clear that Drake is not stopping anytime soon. Who knows, next time he might pull off another betting masterstroke to make even more money from these blockbuster fights.
