Rapper Drake lost $850,000 on Logan Paul's fight with Dillon Danis - despite backing the right man to win. Paul took on Danis over six rounds last night alongside KSI's defeat by Tommy Fury in Manchester. Paul dominated the first five rounds before Danis was disqualified in the final session for attempting to choke out his rival. Paul was declared the winner - but not by knock out as Drake had predicted. The rapper, who is seen as something of a curse given his poor gambling record, had staked $850,000 (£700,000) on Paul to win by stoppage and would have collected $1.3million (£1m) had he been successful.

He lost on the right man. We have experienced losses but not as bad as this...this is just terrible.
What do the gambling folks have to say about this?
How is this terrible? Are you talking about the money he lost or you are talking about why he lost when he choose the right man? That is it I guess, even if you place bet on the most active team players or champions someone will always defeat them when you don't expect it, that is what happened to Drake and this isn't anything related to been Cursed.
I believe he is ready to lose that amount of money but damn it's a lot for majority of people, this should stand as a warning for those who place bet thinking the outcome will favor them because they bet on the best, it still doesn't matter because anything can happen.
I give him some salute though, because even after he was so sure of the outcome he still use what he can afford to lose, if this is some gambler they will go extra miles to make life changing money, thinking this is the best opportunity they will ever get in life, some would have sold their house to place the bet.
Gambling will always be gambling, even if a spiritual being give you a sure prediction of what will happen never should you place all you have on the bet because it's still high risk since it's gambling.
