Drake's biggest ever bet saw him win a huge amount of money

Despite being a renowned global icon, it remains perplexing as to why Drake persists in taking risks. Despite this, the hip-hop marvel has been lucky enough to earn substantial profits.

If you were in possession of a million dollars, would you take the chance and gamble it all on the color red in Las Vegas?

In a more practical scenario, would you take out your mobile phone and place a bet on the winning team in a significant sports competition.

It's true that the hip-hop artist has quite a lot of extra money that he could probably give away if he needed to.

In the year 2022, he told his supporters about the sizable amount of money he managed to win through a daring wager that involved two UFC fights held in London.

During the month of July, Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett and Jordan Leavitt competed against each other inside the octagon. Meanwhile, Molly McCann was fighting against Hannah Goldy at the same event.

Drake displayed a high level of interest in the two matches by wagering an ample amount of $2,296,211.30 on both Pimblett and McCann to secure a victory.

Once the two were victorious, Drake received an impressive payout of $3,723,077. He then proceeded to post his betting slip on his social media along with the words, "A scousers parlay."

After winning, McCann went on Instagram and asked Drake to purchase a Rolex for her. To her astonishment, he consented and said he would also get one for Pimblett.

Drake kept his promise and after a month, Pimblett posted a video expressing his appreciation.

"Oh wow, Belter! Thank you so much. That's awesome, Drake. Thank you for coming through on your promise to get us a Rolex. You really delivered," he exclaimed.

"If he had placed a bet with Barstool, he could have won more cash to get us a superior watch. Nevertheless, we are thankful for the watch and truly appreciate it, mate. You've done well."

This victory for Drake was not only significant but also defied the infamous online curse that's been linked to him.

For those who are unaware, Drake had a tendency to publicly support athletes for a considerable amount of time. Drake would do this by making social media posts or even photos. Surprisingly unfortunately, the athletes would then fail to deliver their peak performance.

The situation exacerbated when Drake exhibited the names of the players he wagered on to his supporters, causing numerous celebrations among them who claimed they would have picked the winning contender if they had bet on the same person.
