The Canadian music star saw a staggering $1 million worth of Bitcoin go down the drain after he was on the wrong side of a pair of sports wagers.
Canadian rapper and avid sports fan Drake has been on a losing streak as of late. He put down a half a million dollar wager on the Edmonton Oilers, hoping the franchise would win its sixth Stanley Cup. Although the Oilers mounted a furious comeback to bring the series to a 3-3 tie, the Florida Panthers managed to hold off Edmonton and won Game 7 on Monday. Had the Oilers won the title, Drake would have been on the receiving end of a $1.25 million payout.
The 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs are still the only NHL team to overcome a 3-0 series deficit in a Stanley Cup Final. Earlier this month, the Dallas Mavericks also cost the musician some big bucks. Drake, whose full name is Aubrey Drake Graham, placed a $500,000 bet on the Mavs to win the NBA Finals.

Drake is apparently aware of the perception surrounding his support of sports teams. 'You want me to talk about the curse or you guys good?' he quipped at reporters in 2019 after his hometown Toronto Raptors won the NBA title.
