Rapper Drake reportedly lost $1 million on World Cup bet
Drake picked Argentina to win the World Cup – but thanks to the rules on the betting platform – he still reportedly lost his money
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Rapper and entertainer Drake reportedly lost $1 million after placing a bet to see Argentina defeat France in the 2022 World Cup final.
The game was tied 3-3 after 90 minutes. Argentina then went on to win the match by way of penalty kicks, however, with a final score of 4-2.
The issue was that Drake "bet in a market where extra time isn't counted and the result is determined based on the score after 90 minutes of play," according to Vulture.
