Rapper Drake who is a huge fan of betting could not cash out despite predicting Argentina to win the World Cup final, Drake lost a $1 million wager.
The Toronto rapper placed his bet in the 1×2 market, which doesn’t take into account extra time, as can be seen in the screenshot below, which he posted on his Instagram on Saturday night.
In the build-up to the game, the commercially successful rapper placed an astounding $1 million for Argentina to win the World Cup.
He stood a chance of making a ton of money if Messi and co defeated defending champions France to the title which eventually happened as Messi guided Argentina to their first World Cup victory since 1986, although it came only after a 4-2 penalty shootout.

Kylian Mbappé of France scored a penalty kick in overtime to square the score at 3-3. Simalrly, Drake won $1.4 million in February after investing $1.26 million over three bets on the Los Angeles Rams to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl.
Furthermore, he bet $600,000 on Barcelona winning the El Clasico and on Arsenal defeating Leeds United in the Premier League in October. He was not let down by the Gunners, but the Catalan giants were defeated 3-1 by their opponents.
