The Drake curse may officially be over. The hip-hop superstar hit on two massive bets when the Denver Nuggets secured the ‘chip in 5 games, profiting over 800 grand!
The 36-year-old superstar placed two bets on the Denver Nuggets back on June 1, before game 1 was played. The first wager … risking $1 million on the Nuggets to win the series outright (pays 1.23 mil total). The second … Drizzy put up $250K on the Nuggets winning the series in 5 games (pays $850K).
All told (assuming Drake isn’t holding back any losing tickets), the rapper, minus what he risked, won $830K!
It’s a good sign for many of the most popular teams across the sports landscape. Of course, Drake’s notorious for rooting for, and betting on teams or athletes … who have then had a reputation for losing.
Thus, the Drake curse.
The Kentucky Wildcats basketball team fell victim to it, and so did the Alabama Crimson Tide football team. Conor McGregor, too (though Khabib probably deserves the credit here).
Not all have fell victim. Drake’s beloved Toronto Raptors won the title in 2019, Tyson Fury, who the rapper supported against Deontay Wilder in 2021, also won.
Now, you can add the Nuggets to that list.
Curse over?!
