Rapper Drake makes another big World Cup bet

Drake has placed a massive R24 million wager on Argentina to beat Spain in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, but his past losses might just catch up with him.

As he did in 2022, Drake has placed another hefty bet on Argentina to win the FIFA World Cup. The Canadian rapper has wagered $1.5 million on the South American country to beat Spain in the final, set to take place on Sunday, 19 July. Should Argentina win their second consecutive World Cup, Drake stands to walk away with over R5 million.

### Drake's past losses

Although Drake bet $1 million on Argentina to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in the final against France, he lost every cent because they did not win within 90 minutes. Argentina and France were tied 2-2 at 90 minutes and 3-3 after extra time. Drake had bet on the 1×2 market; only the score after 90 minutes plus stoppage time counted.

### Drake's World Cup betting strategy

For the rapper to win his 2026 World Cup final bet, Argentina must have won when the referee blows the final whistle at the end of 90 minutes (plus stoppage time). Drake will lose the stash of cash if the countries are tied after regular and extra time, or if Spain wins.

### Drake's net worth

Drake's World Cup bet is a small fraction of his massive net worth, estimated to be over R2.5 billion.

### The 2026 FIFA World Cup final

The 2026 FIFA World Cup final will be played on Sunday, 19 July. The match is expected to be highly anticipated, with both teams hoping to claim the coveted World Cup trophy.

### What happens next
