Drake’s $300K Bet: Can Canada Beat Messi’s Argentina?
On July 9, 2024, Canadian rapper Drake placed a $300,000 bet on the Canadian national soccer team to win against Argentina in the Copa America semifinals.
This event has sparked a variety of reactions on social media, with many expressing skepticism about Canada’s chances against Argentina, a team they have historically struggled against.
The ‘Drake Curse, a superstition suggesting teams or athletes tend to lose after receiving public support from Drake, has been referenced by some users. Despite the doubts, there are expressions of hope and support for Canada, acknowledging the challenge but still rooting for an upset.
