Note: In cases where Drake bet on the outcome of a multi-entity competition or selection — such as a race, award, or NBA Conference winner — there isn't a single, opposing entity to attribute an 'against' bet to. As a result, the profit and loss from these types of bets won't be reflected in the 'Bet Against' P&L column, and the totals may not align exactly with his overall profit and loss.

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.

This project isn't endorsed or associated with Drake or any related commercial partners.
