Drake bet $500,000 on Israel Adesanya, then shelled out $800,000 in favor of Logan Paul over Dillon Danis
Despite the brutality of martial arts, betting brings additional excitement to fans. Given that fans are indirectly participating in the fight by betting on the fighters, winning the bet means extra money for the fans. Similarly, Canadian rapper Drake has a love-hate relationship with gambling. We have seen several cases where he lost thousands and even millions on bets. After losing $500,000 on a bet on Israel Adesanya, Drake bet again on Logan Paul to secure a knockout win over Dillon Danis.
Drake Wagers $800k on Logan Paul to Triumph over Dillon Danis, Despite Last $500k Loss on Israel Adesanya Fight
The “Drake Curse” is a very popular term among the online sports fan community. This is based on the idea that when Drake supports an athlete or team, they often face bad luck or adverse outcomes. This belief coincided with the superstitions of players and fans, and the notoriety of “Drake’s Curse” became widely known.
And now, fans on the internet are once again mentioning the infamous “Drake Curse” after Drake bet $800,000 that Paul would defeat Danis by knockout. If Paul is able to secure a knockout victory, Drake will earn a whopping $1.3 million. Danis, on the other hand, is clearly upset that Drake only bet $800,000 against the possibility of him losing, as seen in the post below.
The Canadian rapper recently placed a hefty bet of $500,000 on Adesanya scoring a knockout victory over Strickland in the main event of UFC 293. Unfortunately, Adesanya lost the match and missed out on the chance to win a whopping $920,000. This was the amount he would have earned if he had won.

If Drake’s bet on Paul actually pays off, he could not only recoup his losses at UFC 293, but also make a hefty profit. On the other hand, if Logan Paul loses a boxing match to Jiu-Jitsu champion Danis, the Drake Curse phenomenon will definitely gain even more attention.
