Rap superstar Drake placed a $1.5 million bet in USDT on Argentina to beat Spain in the FIFA World Cup final, potentially winning about $5.175 million if Argentina wins in regulation or extra time. Despite Spain being the favorite in prediction markets, more money is staked on Argentina, reflecting divided public opinion. Drake's betting record shows a net loss of $1.56 million overall, with soccer bets costing him $1.67 million, fueling talk of the 'Drake Curse.' A win would help erase his recent $5.7 million losing streak since April 2024, while a loss would deepen the narrative. His public bets through crypto platform Stake have drawn attention and controversy over gambling promotion.
