Drake defies curse with $300,000 wager on Jannik Sinner to win US Open | US Open Tennis 2025
Drake bets Grand on Jannik Sinner, betting $ 300,000 on the world n ° 1 to win the US Open.
The rapper known for having placed big bets on sporting events – and losing them often – published on social networks the screenshot of a betting slip of Tuesday afternoon. The six -digit bet pays $ 507,000 if Sinner captures its fifth major and second championship at the US Open.
The so-called Drake Cursed has been blamed for several losses in recent years, including $ 210,000 on American Taylor Fritz to beat Sinner in the US Open 2024 final. According to a website according to the announced bets of Drake and the curse, he is down $ 115,000 on tennis after having reduced his losses by successfully choosing the sinner to win the open final from Australia in January.
The history of Drake’s bets is not limited to tennis. During the COPA America 2024, it lost an additional $ 300,000 when Canada fell into Argentina in the semi-finals, a bet that has paid almost $ 2.9 million. Argentina then twisted the knife by publishing “Not Like Us” – the title of a piece of dissiing Kendrick Lamar Diss targeting the Canadian rapper – in a cheeky wink to the misfortune of their rival.
The high -level boots of the Canadian and the cultural theater around them have become a secondary race intrigue for major sporting events. Even as the story of the “curse” grows, Drake continues to put himself under the spotlight, for the better or for the worse.
The sinner, meanwhile, does his part to test him. The 24 -year -old Italian reached the quarter -finals after having sent Alexander Bublik during his fourth round match. He will then face the compatriot Lorenzo Musetti on Wednesday evening and remains the favorite of the bets.
