Drake bets on Canada to defeat Argentina
It is not the first time Canadian rapper Drake has placed a bet on sports.

A few months ago, he placed a huge bet on the fight between Antony Joshua and Ngannou which he lost.
Social media users frequently make fun of Drake for being "cursed" because he lost £551,000 following Dricus Du Plessis' victory over Sean Strickland at UFC 297 and a six-figure sum following Anthony Joshua's knockout victory over Francis Ngannou.
Argentina are heavy favourites to defeat Canada which makes Drake's bet quite risky, high risk, high reward.
