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.

The Drake's Curse.

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?

Not a bad loss, it's gambling after all. You win some, you lose some that's just how gambling works. If he happens to win his bet would that be terrible?
IMO, most gamblers has poor gambling records though. I bet most of us has lost more money than we win.
I could only say that it's a terrible loss if someone has to take a loan just to place a bet and lost it eventually, that is a prime example of a terrible loss. But as for Drake, $850k isn't a big deal as he owns a lot of money. If I'm as wealthy as Drake I could've done the same thing, bet on the most risky but high reward odds since money doesn't bother me at all so why not maximize the profitability chances.

Not shocking or surprising that people would really be always that focusing that much on the cons and not on the positive side. What if the bet did end up on a win? For sure people would really just simply just say "okay" and simply move on on which it would really be totally different on the time that we do see the opposite things like losing up a particular bet specially on a significant amount.
Its not a curse but rather it is really just that a simple system that on how gambling works, it is really just that people do really give out that kind of emphasis on the time that they would be losing such bet.If we are just simply talking with some random gambler then it wont really be taking so much attention unlike if we do speak about celebrities which are really that known or
really that popular. We arent really that blind on how Drake make out bets on which it is really just that everytime this dude make out bets then it is really that being showing
those tons of zeroes on each bet which it turns out to be that his standard or simply shows that on how heavy gambler he is.
