About TheDrakeCurse.com

The Drake Curse is an independent investigation into Canadian musical artist Drake's betting habits.

We collected all publicly available and verifiable bets from the rapper's social media account, and media reports, to collate this study. Where bets were placed in Bitcoin and Canadian Dollars, we converted the amounts to the USD equivalence on the day the bet was placed.

This site doesn't offer betting or financial advice or encourage gambling. Gambling can be highly addictive, and your capital is always at risk. Think carefully before betting on anything.
