World Cup: Drake loses $1m bet as Argentina beat France in penalties
Although Argentina won the 2022 World Cup, Canadian rapper Drake still lost his $ 1 million bet placed on the South American team to defeat France.
In a video posted on Twitter the day before Argentina battled France, Drake was seen picking the Lionel Messi-led side to win the match. Drake reportedly lost his money thanks to the rules on the betting platform.
According to Fox News, the issue was that Drake “bet in a market where extra time isn’t counted and the result is determined based on the score after 90 minutes of play.
