Drake’s Bold $300K Bet on Canada

The Canadian music superstar Drake is putting his money where his mouth is with a $300,000.00 wager on Les Rouges to beat Argentina in the Copa America semi-final later on tonight.

Drake got odds of 9.60 on Canada to win (1x2 market), so he stands to win a cool $2,880,000 if his home country comes out on top.

Despite Argentina legend Lionel Messi being out of form (by his own exceptional standards) during this tournament, Argentina are still huge favorites to progress to the Copa America final again.

Of course, $300K to Drake, who is the leading brand ambassador with Stake.com, is pocket change, but it’s still a big bet in my eyes. What do you think? Has Drake just thrown away three hundred thousand dollars, or could Canada pull off the surprise of the tournament and knock out the favorites?

Even Drake’s super-sized wager didn’t move the needle in favor of Canada. At the time of writing this article (8 hours before kick-off), Canada has drifted out to 10.00, with Argentina being priced at 1.34. Additionally, bettors can get 5.20 on the draw after 90 minutes.
