Drake, the Canadian rapper, lost more than $230,000 in BTC when he bet on Charles Leclerc to win at the Spanish Grand Prix.
The Formula One Spanish Grand Prix, which took place last Sunday, did not end well for Leclerc and Ferrari fans. Despite starting in first place, the Monegasque driver had to withdraw due to engine trouble.
Leclerc’s biggest rival for the title, Dutchman Max Verstappen of Red Bull, won the Grand Prix and took the lead in the tournament.
Drake neke pobjeđuje, neke gubi
We can only presume that Drake had a good cry after losing that much money. Before the race, he showed on his Instagram story that he had placed a bet of $230,000 on Leclerc’s victory. The bet was placed via sports betting platform Stake, known for accepting cryptocurrencies. While Drake’s story about his Ulog bet seems to be an advertorial collab, it didn’t make it less gripping with its ups and downs.
If Leclerc had finished in first place, the music star would be up by $353,000 in Bitcoin – the currency used in the transaction However, the rapper lost his entire bet amount.
While it’s a huge amount by normal standards, the amount lost turns out to not be a bid deal for Drake. The artist has a net worth valued at $200 million, as of last year. In addition, he has already done very well in some previous bets made in BTC.
