Blame Drake, Not the Training Camp
Drake, the multi-platinum rapper with a seemingly endless catalog of hits, has a dark secret. No, it's not another surprise album or a new collaboration with an up-and-coming artist. It’s something far more sinister, and it has the sports world shaking in their cleats, boots, and gloves: The Drake Curse.
This infamous curse has left a trail of shattered dreams and empty wallets across the sports world, and the combat sports scene has taken the hardest hits. With a record that looks more like a losing lottery ticket than a betting sheet, Drake’s gambling prowess—or lack thereof—has become the stuff of legends.
The Drake Curse: A Quick Recap of the Greatest Hits (or Misses)
Remember when Israel Adesanya was supposed to make quick work of Dricus Du Plessis? So did Drake. The rapper decided to back "The Last Stylebender" with a cool $450,000, confident that Adesanya would deliver a knockout performance. Instead, what we got was a Dricus Du Plessis masterclass, and Drake got another hefty dent in his bank account. But hey, who’s counting at this point?
And let’s not forget the time he thought Francis Ngannou was going to steamroll Anthony Joshua. Drake threw down $615,000, probably with the same swagger he has when dropping a new track. But, as you might have guessed, Ngannou lost, and Drake’s bank account dropped faster than a beat on a diss track.
$430,000 on Adesanya to beat Sean Strickland. Yes, you read that right. It seems Drake has a soft spot for Adesanya, but it’s not mutual—at least not in the win column. Strickland put on a clinic, and Drake was left staring at another massive L, wondering where it all went wrong.
17-189: The Record Nobody Wants
If you thought the Cleveland Browns had a rough streak, just take a look at Drake’s sports betting record. The man is reportedly 17-189 in sports betting. That’s right, 17 wins out of 206 bets. For those keeping score at home, that’s a win percentage so low it might actually be negative. Even the worst day-trader on Wall Street is probably thinking, “At least I’m not Drake.”
It’s not just combat sports where the curse strikes, either. The NFL, NBA, you name it—Drake’s managed to jinx it. He’s like the sports betting version of the Bermuda Triangle, except instead of ships disappearing, it’s fighters' chances of winning that vanish into thin air.
The Real Strategy: Fade Drake
At this point, the real money-making strategy isn’t to follow Drake’s bets, but to go the opposite direction. If Drake’s throwing down stacks on a fighter, you should probably start selling everything you own to bet on the other guy. In fact, there’s a growing underground community of bettors who wait with bated breath for Drake to announce his next wager, just so they can do the exact opposite. And you know what? They’re winning. A lot.
It’s almost as if the moment Drake backs a fighter, the universe conspires to make sure they lose. Maybe it’s karma, maybe it’s just bad luck, or maybe the man just has an uncanny ability to pick losers. Whatever it is, it’s costing him—and anyone foolish enough to follow his lead—millions.
A Plea to Drake: Stop Betting, Please
Drake, if you’re reading this (and let’s be honest, with your record, you’ve got plenty of free time on your hands), maybe it’s time to hang up the betting slip. Focus on what you’re good at—making music, selling out arenas, and living the good life. Leave the betting to the professionals, or at least to those with a winning record.
Or, you know, keep betting. Just make sure to publicly announce your pick so the rest of us can start betting against you. After all, the Drake Curse might just be the best thing to ever happen to underdogs everywhere. Fight.TV is here for it, Drake.
