Famed Canadian musician - Aubrey Drake Graham (better known as Drake) - gave up $400,000 worth of money after Jake Paul lost his fight with Tommy Fury bitcoins. If Paul had knocked out his opponent, the singer would have made a profit of over $1 million in BTC.
The musician wagered $400,000 worth of major cryptocurrencies that his good friend Jake Paul, an American social media personality who began pursuing a boxing career, would defeat Tommy Fury, world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. half-brother). He used the casino gaming platform again - Stake.
The odds are 3.60, which means Drake could cash out over $1,000,000 in BTC profits. Paul nearly won the fight after knocking out Fury in the eighth round. However, the latter stepped up to win the match after the referees were divided. In a postgame meeting, Paul jokingly blamed Drake for the loss.
He then said the Canadian won a lot of money ahead of Fury and urged him to try his luck again should the rematch happen: “It’s my fault. $400,000 is nothing to him. He has won a lot more money betting on me before. He’s probably about even now. Sorry, Drake, I’ll get that win in the rematch.”
The rapper seems to be a big fan of sports betting. Many athletes and teams failed after he invested money, which led to the coining of the term "Drake's Curse."
