Five-time Grammy winner, Drake, 38, has taken to his Instagram Stories to recap an awful stretch he’s endured as a bettor, losing an astounding $8 million over the past month
‘Gotta share the other side of gambling…’ the In My Feelings rapper wrote. ‘Losses are so fried right now… I hope I can post a big one for you soon cause I’m the only one that has never seen a Max these guys Max once a week.’
The Toronto native, whose full name is Aubrey Drake Graham, detailed his wagering plans set around Thursday’s NBA Finals Game Six, pitting the Indiana Pacers against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
As it stands, the Thunder, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, are a victory away from claiming the NBA crown with a three-two series lead, coming off a 120-109 win Monday.
Drake believes the Thunder will emerge with the NBA title, as he made two wagers totaling $800,000 backing them.
One of the bets Drake made – putting up $200,000 to win $712,000 is that the Thunder will defeat the Pacers by a margin of 6-10 points.
Drake also made a straight wager on the Thunder moneyline to defeat the Pacers straight up.
The Work rapper bet $600,000 to win $222,000, as the road team is a heavy favorite to claim the title come Thursday in Indiana.
The What’s My Name? artist tagged Oklahoma City superstar Gilgeous-Alexander into the post, writing, ‘Check that box @shai.’
It was not immediately clear why Drake wanted Gilgeous-Alexander to keep track of the box score during the game. Gilgeous-Alexander did not appear to respond via the platform as of Wednesday evening, as he is presumably resting up for Thursday’s key game.
