Drake's betting 'curse' continues as he loses $1million on World Cup final prediction

Drake has been at it again when it comes to losing money to the bookmakers.

The rapper, 36, is said to be "cursed" in the gambling game, with the star often losing huge amounts of cash - and Sunday was no different.

Drake - whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham - showed his mammoth bet prior to the World Cup final in Qatar between Argentina and France.

He revealed to his 127million Instagram

While he might have predicted the correct outcome, with Argentina going on to lift the World Cup trophy, the One Dance singer lost out on a technicality.

For his bet to win, the superstar needed the South American side to beat 2018 winners France in 90 minutes, but penalties were needed to secure the result. That left Drake nursing his wounds as his pockets were left a whole lot emptier.

If the new world champions lifted the trophy after 90 minutes, he would have been in for a jackpot of $2.75million (£2.26million).

As soon as Drake posted the now-deleted betting slip, fans jumped on the upload to comment on the "Drake curse". One user wrote: "Yoo Drake please cancel your bet... you are going to ruin a historical day for no reason…"

Another commented: "Drake bet on Argentina … I’m gonna put money on France to try and cancel the Jinx out".

And a third said: "Drake bet that Argentina would win, it's over".

The scepticism comes after the star had previously shared his sports betting slips for other huge events, including Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz Jr in their first boxing bout.

Despite the Brit being a huge favourite to overcome his Mexican foe, he was floored a number of times on the road to a shock defeat.

He was also snapped with now-Manchester United player Jadon Sancho on the eve of former club Borussia Dortmund's game against rivals Bayern Munich. Fans blamed the Drake curse for Dortmund going on to lose the match.

Other stars to have been snapped with the musician and immediately lost the game that followed include Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint-Germain.

Conor McGregor has also been defeated following an image with Drake.
