Drake has a notorious reputation for jinxing teams with his support or bets. As a rapper hailing from Canada, he has experienced both gambling victories and losses, but it seems that his influence often leads to misfortune for the teams he backs. This is why Drake’s announcement of his Super Bowl wager feels like a recurring event in the world of sports.
Drake took to Instagram to reveal that he placed a staggering bet of $1.115 million, which presumably was in Canadian dollars, on the Kansas City Chiefs. He proudly shared his betting slip from the sportsbook Stake on the social media platform, solidifying the record for future reference. In his caption, Drake humorously mentioned that he couldn’t bet against the Swifties, referring to Taylor Swift’s fanbase.
Naturally, this wager garnered significant attention due to Drake’s track record of losses. Notably, during the NBA Playoffs last year, his support for both the Lakers and the Heat resulted in their defeat. One particularly memorable instance was when he bet hundreds of thousands on Charles Leclerc, a Ferrari driver, to win the 2022 Spanish Grand Prix. Unfortunately for Drake, Leclerc’s car experienced engine failure while leading the race.
While it may not be the wisest strategy, some may consider fading Drake’s actions as a more reliable approach to betting. However, in this case, I would personally feel more confident placing my bet on the Niners. Only time will tell how this Super Bowl matchup unfolds on Sunday. Will the Chiefs be immune to the infamous Drake curse, or will they become its next victim?
Interestingly, if the Chiefs fail to secure victory, Taylor Swift will be spared from the blame as angry fans will undoubtedly direct their frustration towards Drake instead.
