Rapper Drake is an inveterate fan of sports betting. So it is not surprising that he puts millionaire sums of money at stake; However, in recent years the singer has become a bad luck charm for gamblers and bettors, who saw them lose games and money after the star announced his favorites in the bets. However, this time thanks to Taylor Swift, Drake finally broke his bad betting streak and won millions of dollars, after the Kansas City Chiefs won 25-22 against the San Francisco 49ers, in the 58th edition of the Super Bowl in extra time.
This Saturday, before the NFL final game, Drake reported through his social networks that he had bet 1.15 million in Bitcoin currency in favor of the Chiefs. “I can’t bet against the Swifties,” he shared alongside a screenshot of his bet. After the triumph of Taylor Swift’s boyfriend’s team, the international press has echoed the rapper’s good fortune after several losses in the game, although the figure of how much he won was not revealed, experts say he could pocket more than 2, 3 million dollars.
With this victory, Drake breaks his bad streak in betting, 2022 lost 2 million dollars after betting that Israel Adesanya would defeat Alex Pereira in a UFC fight, where the latter won the UFC middleweight title after a technical knockout in the fifth round.
Despite these bad streaks, the Hotline Bling performer does not get discouraged with the game and when he manages to have good luck he dedicates the profits to charities such as when he donated a million dollars in Bitcoin to LeBron James’ charity or gave $100,000 to the working mother of a student.
