On side note: Drake loses $350,000 on this one. lol
Canadian rapper Drake wagered $355,000 on Mike Tyson in his fight against Jake Paul, which took place on November 15, 2024, at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Known for his sports betting, Drake backed 58-year-old Tyson in his return to the ring. However, Tyson lost to 27-year-old Paul by unanimous decision, resulting in Drake losing his bet.sourceIs this Drake really gambling with his own cryptocoins? This appears for me very much similar to these influencers in the cryptospace or in streaming services like Twitch who are being given some tokens to gamble and shill on social media heheheh.
In any case, yes if he is being given be the sportsbook to gamble than this would be a very good marketing tactic to use on us small minnows hehehehe.
We can only speculate, but we all know that Drake is one of the richest rap artist as he had multiple hits and most likely he will be in crypto already specially that he is under Stake which is one of the first crypto base online gaming platform.
It's no surprised as he has been under Stake for many years now and most likely it's already a win-win situation between the two. And then he had been streaming with Stake as well so it's really hard not to doubt that Drake can put up that bet on Mike Tyson.
But then again, it's the Drake curse so he will continue to lose big money.
