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?
I get sickend seeing Drake always betting so much money on all these big fights/games. Now don't get me wrong he earned that money and he deserves it...but I can't help but think that he probably doesn't donate all that much to charity each year and that doesn't sit right with me (maybe I'm wrong and hope that I am).
Not a big fan of Drake period. There's a sub-reddit that's pretty funny called "DrakeTheType" which is all about ripping on him. I highly suggest checking it out.
That said, wish I had the money to make bets like he does!
