Predicting the correct outcome of any sporting event is no piece of cake, let alone a soccer World Cup that witnessed plenty of jaw-dropping overturns even from the qualifiers. However, that doesn’t stop celebrities like Drake from trying out the luck. Even while he has lost his bet in multiple magnific events including El Clasico, Formula 1, and UFC, in NBA, he won around 700K USD supporting Steph Curry’s Golden State Warriors.

Weighing the odds and witnessing the run both of these teams had, it’s impossible to foresee who will have the final laugh. Whether it would be Leo Messi-led albicelestes or the reigning champs Les Bleus, the clash of these titans would definitely entertain the soccer world.
On a further note, Drake has lost many major soccer bets, including the last El Clasico in October where he put his money on Barcelona, and they were defeated by rivals Los Blancos 3-1. Besides, there is also a narrative where his support seals the fate of many players and teams. But the hour might have come to change that curse, as Leo Messi’s Argentina has all the potential to win the World Cup.
