How much did Drake bet on the Kansas City Chiefs to win?
The Chiefs are the defending champions of the NFL, having won Super Bowl LVII in 2023. The 49ers are looking for their first Super Bowl title since 1995.
Drake, has placed a massive bet of $1.15 million on the Kansas City Chiefs to win Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers. He shared a photo of his betting slip on social media, with the caption “I can’t bet against the swifties.”
The Swifties are the fans of Taylor Swift, who performed at the Super Bowl halftime show and showed her support for the Chiefs and their star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. Swift wore a Chiefs jersey and sang some of her hits, including “You Belong With Me” and “Shake It Off.”
Drake’s bet might seem like a show of confidence in the Chiefs, who are the defending champions of the NFL and have a formidable offense led by Mahomes and Travis Kelce. However, some people believe that Drake’s bet might actually jinx the Chiefs, as he has a history of losing bets on various sports events. This phenomenon is known as the “Drake curse.”
What is the Drake Curse and how can it affect the Chiefs?
The Drake curse is a popular belief on the internet that any athlete or team that receives support from Drake will lose the sporting event in which they are participating. The curse is believed to affect people even if Drake is only seen in a photo with an athlete or wearing a particular jersey. Some of the alleged victims of the curse include Conor McGregor, Serena Williams, Anthony Joshua, and the Toronto Raptors.
Drake has also lost some of his previous bets, such as $1 million on the World Cup final between Argentina and France in 2023 and $500,000 on Israel Adesanya to beat Sean Strickland by KO in UFC 293. He also lost $275,000 when Colby Covington defeated Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272.
However, Drake might have broken the curse last year, when he won around $300,000 in Bitcoin after betting on the Los Angeles Rams to beat the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVII. He also won $25 million playing virtual roulette with French Montana in July 2023.
The Super Bowl LVIII will take place on Sunday, February 11, 2024, at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. It will be broadcast by NBC and streamed on Peacock. The 49ers are looking for their first Super Bowl title since 1995, while the Chiefs are aiming for their second consecutive championship. The game is expected to be a close and exciting contest, with both teams having strong offenses and defenses.
