Title: Drake losses $450k on Adesanya beating Du Plesis
Post by: robelneo on August 18, 2024, 08:13:06 PM
Wow 24 hours before the fight, Drake just revealed that he is betting $450k for Adesanya to beat Du Plessis as it turn out Du Plessis beat Adesanya by submission.

This is another embarrassment for Drake again, I know he has a lot of money but can he keep up with losses after losses? and do you think its time for him not to reveal who he will bet before the fight and he just make it known only after he won to save his face from embarrassment? I'm sure he will be the talk of the town again because of this loss.

Dricus Du Plessis took extra delight in his victory at UFC 305 knowing that he caused Drake to lose a hefty wad of cash.

The South African fighter defeated Israel Adesanya via submission in Round 4 of the main event after Drake revealed he wagered $450,000 on Adesanya to win the middleweight clash.

Du Plessis quickly took to social media following the fight to "thank" the Canadian rapper, showcasing his title belt.

isn't he spending just Stake's money?  seem like there is no loss at all since he is just working for stake and of course Adesanya being the poster boy of Stake obviously Drake will go for Izzy. 
we're just not aware of what could happen because of publishing his bet pick before the fight and its effect to his fans and sports bettor.

it could either be:
1. they will just feel beter they are not the only one who loses money but also Drake. it will make them feel fine.
2. lets lynch Drake. he is driving us to more losses.  ;D

Shame!! lol why should he have it, I don't understand the personal or accusatory part. I think that at the level of losses of ordinary bettors, it is a stratospheric figure, but random for that level.

And on the contrary, even if you don't believe it, these guys boast more about losses than winnings, it is difficult for many people to understand... anyway...

A few days ago I saw Neymar bet 5* times in a row against another player, his win in a hand he had won, but he gave five more cards to the other player in a continuation bet, he won them all, improbable, but it happened, I think he didn't like having won.

*5:I don't remember if it was more or less, but he gave up 5 cards to the other player on the river.

he is rich i am sure he will be okay but still it is not little money and i think he would be more concerned about the money he lost instead of how the public will view him

How is it an embarrassment for Drake? He lost consecutively while betting to the extent some people can say I will bet against the person or club that Drake is betting on but I do not see any embarrassment about this. Not that Drake is broke or not a millionaire in dollars again. He is a millionaire in dollars.

Yeah, we are not sure if he is betting using Stake money or if that his real money. But one thing is for sure, both of them are being sponsored by Stake so it make sense that he will beat on Adesanya.

And with that, if he bet early though and see that he is on Adesanya, then we should bet on the other side. Gamblers carry those superstitious belief that who ever Drake bet will underperformed and going to lose, hehehe.

Due to the consistent loss to gambling of Drake, people now tagged Drake as someone being curse to gambling. Each game he bets on is considered a loss game for him.

I wonder if that is true, but going through the past bets of Drake, you could believe the fact that Drake is cursed to bets. Nevertheless, I think I am going with the assumption of Drake being a curse to gambling. It is just somehow for someone to be losing to bets any time he bets in any one favor.

The truth is I don't know how he is able to make such a high bet, I am not capable of it even if I had that money, I would not be capable of doing something like that, however, he is a person for whom that amount is not much, but for us, well, we make a maximum bet of 100usd at the emnso in my case and losing it is too much, but since he is an influencer I am sure that he can recover it very quickly, and too bad there is no winner, maybe I have to do a better analysis when betting again.

Just to be fair, for sure there will be bets that Drake could have won and we didn't know or we know it. However, it is more pronounced or at least social media is something that put this label on him, like he had curse someone or something if he is going to bet on that fight. So I won't blame it on Drake though, he doesn't have control of the fights, just like the rest of us here. We do have our own bets and speculation as how the fight will turn out, it's just that Adesanya lost to a better fighter and I don't think that Drake has something to do with it.

Drake is obligated to rooting for Adesanya and he always make sure these bets are made public because he is also promoting Stake who oays him for promoting the betting platform. I heard he isn't just a paid celebrity but a part owner. I couldn't be sure of that but its got to be more than just a promoter of the casino.

Adesanya as ambasador of Stake, is a perfect combination for the promotion. And everybody's talking about them. Looks like the bets made by Drake are all for the marketing hype.

I suspect as much. There must be something/connection between Drake and Stake's betting platform. Someone can't tell me that a celebrity like Drake won't have some sort of marketing strategy happening between the both that makes Drake the celebrity we hear most of who always makes his bets openly for everyone to know. Don't other celebrities gamble as well, to lose? Why must it be Drake all the time who loses to gambling that we do know more of?

Well, celebrities don't market a product in vain. I believe there may be a hidden reward for Drake, for marketing Stake all the time despite his gambling losses. The loss may not mean anything so far his gamble with the Stake platform.

You will never really know until you have the kind of money he has, Then you will be sure of what you can do.

To really get people's attention, you either have to win very big or lose a lot of money, and to someone like Drake, losing a lot of money, is also enough to get him the attention he requires to keep promoting the stake platform.

We may be seeing it as a loss, but it is a win for him.

It's up to him if he discloses pre-fight or post-fight. Honestly, we probably shouldn't really think much about what he does in gambling. Someone who has made a lot of money on his songs and social media wouldn't be embarrassed by some gambling losses. If he wants to, he can tell his PR team to flip his losses into something profitable.

Considering Drakes wealth I think it was just nothing to him if he was that kind of gambler who spends huge amount of money for that match we likes. I don't know about his entire wealth but earning millions of dollars from businesses and his talent might answer questions if he really cares about losing that bet but yeah that money he lost might be just a small portion of his entire net worth.

Posting those bets after the fight result will not entice bettors to Stake which is the goal of his posts. Its marketing, Drake has been doing it for years in every Adesanya fights.

It may change soon since Adesanya seem to be slowing and his career being Not a champion anymore might be the cause of his contract to end being Stake's ambassador. Drake will be rooting for the new one ofc.

We really know that don't know that deal with them and Stake but obviously, Adesanya is a brand ambassador and Drake has been playing and streaming with Stake and even giving away $20k at some of his followers in Stake so there could be something between the two of them. Not sure though if he is a part owner, I mean Eddie and Stake has been in the crypto sphere for years so it's just weird for them to take a musical mogul as a partner, just saying.

Well in that you are absolutely right, based on what a person like him can lose or Afford to lose , maybe that amount is nothing, although I do say Something , with so much wealth in the world from some people, it is okay for him to make those kinds of bets, but with so many people who only need a small part for their venture or something like that, it would be a better distribution of the money, of course it is only my personal perception, I think that sometimes the money of people like Drake should be put to better use, and even so I am sure that he will be able to bet large amounts of money.

I don't know how much money does he have, nor do I care, but if $450k was nothing to him, he wouldn't bother making such bet and bragging about that to the whole world.
Is this going to bankrupt him? Probably not. But it will hurt a little, for sure.

ps I think we're paying way too much attention to those so-called "celebrities". Rarely any of them is an authority in any matter.

450 thousand dollars is a lot of money to lose but to drake it's nothing, he might probably make it back within two days from the streams he gets from this music and it's very possible that he has investments, but this doesn't cover the fact that drake is an addicted gambler that doesn't play with the motivation to win but he does it to have fun and prove a point. Asides from drake a lot of millionaires in the united states of America gamble this way

There are people who are born stars and others who are born star-crossed, so these types of people who earn so much money, I admire that they can do things like these, but it's obvious that they need to do other things to be a little more human, those 450 thousand dollars would have been great in a charity work of so many people in the world, but they don't see that, I don't know, but I think that the more money people have the less good they are, I don't understand it, however if a person is good and charitable they do much better and if they give or are willing to lose $450k in just games and get it back in 1stream, it's something that I admire much more, I would like to one day have such power to move masses in that way, this I am sure that if I were a politician I would win an election at once.

Personally, I don't think that Drake is cursed because in gambling as we know, you will lose more than your wins and what matters is that you are using the amount of money that you can afford to lose to gamble. I see Drake as a gambler that likes to show off with his bet so thay it would be the talk of the town about his losses and nothing more. The amount of money that he is losing are funds that he can afford to lose and that will not affect his finances at all. He likes the media and people to gain his attention through gambling.

That's part of people's mindset to gain attention from media and people. They don't mind going out of box continuously to been talk about their particular way of life.

If Drake wants the world to talk about him towards his gambling livestyle, that's his business. He's free to do whatever we like, as far as it's his money and it makes him happy when he become the center of discussion to everyone. By the way, he haven't complained about his gambling losses for once. Maybe he's good with it.
