Canadian musician Drake has made a huge gamble by placing over Ksh38 million on his country to upset Argentina and make it to Copa America finals for the first time.
Musician Drake, known for his frequent sports bets, has placed a $300,000 (Ksh38.4 million) wager on his home country of Canada to defeat Argentina in the Copa America semi-finals.
Drake’s betting activities have been well-publicized, largely due to his sponsorship by Stake, an online casino.
Stake is notable for its role in the creation of the Kick streaming platform and offers a wide range of online casino games and sports betting options. Drake's substantial bets on major sporting events have become a common occurrence.
Canada's presence in the Copa America is historic, as this is their first time participating in the tournament.
Despite the odds, they have managed to reach the semi-finals, where they face a formidable opponent in Lionel Messi’s Argentina.
To prepare for this high-stakes match, Drake has placed his $300,000 bet on Canada, which stands as a significant underdog with 9.6 to 1 odds. A victory for Canada would net Drake a staggering $2.88 million (ksh369 million).
The likelihood of a Canadian victory on Wednesday morning is slim. In the group stage, Argentina defeated Canada 2-0. However, Canada showed resilience in that game, providing a glimmer of hope for an upset.
Should Canada manage to win, it would be one of the biggest shocks in soccer history, capturing the attention of fans across the nation.
