The artist reveals that he has lost more than $ 8 million in just one month
Drake, one of the most profitable names in the current musical industry, seems to face a setback away from the stage. The Canadian rapper shared his followers who have accumulated losses of over $ 8 million in sports betting last month.
The revelation came through social networks, in which he published the screen catches in detail the values invested and commented in a tone of frustration: “The losses are so bad now”.
According to the published data, the artist has moved more than $ 124 million to bets in this period only, with a bet of $ 50 million last week and another 75 million dollars at the beginning of this month.
The numbers impress not only for the volume, but for the transparency with which Drake decided to face the theme something rare in the universe of celebrities.
The rapper, known for his partnership with the pole betting platform, usually divides his tickets publicly, whether they are victory or defeat. The new confession, however, was accompanied by a warning:
“I have to share the other side of the bets.” The phrase shows that, behind the glamor of millionaire bets, there are also significant losses, even for someone with the luck of Drake.
Although it has not specified the events that bet, there is evident evidence that the NBA and NHL playoffs were among the main objectives. Also, he would also have invested US $ 750 thousand In a cricket match.
Not even the recent damages have shaken their will: the rapper revealed that he bet on other $ 800,000 in the NBA final, believing in the victory of Oklahoma City’s Thunder against the Indiana Pacers with a margin from 6 to 10 points.
The partnership with the pole even raises questions between fans and experts. Many point out that part of these bets can be made with promotional credits from the common practical platform in marketing actions involving great influencers.
Drake: emotional bet or calculated game?
Drake has not been tied up with criticism and hypothesized, in the tone of the outburst, which may not have the ideal profile for this type of risk.
“I am an imperfect sports player,” he wrote. The phrase echoed between followers and uniformed opinions: while some supported him for sincerity, others wondered if the exaggerated exhibition of bets could negatively influence their fans, in particular the younger ones.
The episode rekindles the debate on the influence of celebrities on the universe of bets, especially at a time when governments all over the world tighten the supervision of the sector. In Brazil, for example, financial institutions have recently been required to report suspicious movements relating to illegal betting sites.
Among the festivals and defeats on virtual tables, Drake continues to demonstrate that even at the top, nobody is immune to the risks or high and the bass of the game.
