The renowned Canadian rapper Drake, known for placing substantial bets on sports events, has made his latest wagers.
Drake has bet $500,000 each on the winners of the NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup.
Drake predicts that in the NBA Finals, the Dallas Mavericks will defeat the Boston Celtics, placing his bet at odds of 2.75. For the Stanley Cup Finals, Drake is betting on the Edmonton Oilers against the Florida Panthers with odds of 2.05.
However, the start of the NBA Finals has not gone well for Drake, as Dallas lost the first game to Boston 89-107.
Previously, Drake wagered $565,000 on Tyson Fury's victory in the heavyweight championship bout against Oleksandr Usyk. Ultimately, the British boxer lost to the Ukrainian by a split decision.
