Sports bettors know that you never bet with your emotions. Drake, the Canadian rapper and intrepid bettor known for missing big money bets, never got the memo and lost a considerable fortune this weekend on the Jake Paul<\/a> vs. Nate D\u00edaz boxing match.<\/p>\n

Drake<\/a> supposedly took a loss of $250K thanks to the defeat of D\u00edaz at the hands of YouTuber Jake Paul. Diaz was a formidable UFC fighter<\/a> before deciding to try his skills as a pugilist.<\/p>\n

Prior to the fight, and as he has done with many other sporting events, Drake published his Stake.com<\/a> betting ticket, showing that he was backing D\u00edaz. The ticket includes an admission that the \u201cWay 2 Sexy\u201d<\/em> singer can \u201cnever bet against a D\u00edaz brother,\u201d even if his opponent is a better choice.<\/p>\n

Before the fight, Paul reacted on Instagram to Drake’s move with a violent image where he appears holding the decapitated head of D\u00edaz. In the post, Paul also left a message for the rapper assuring him that he “was losing his money.” He wasn\u2019t wrong.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that Drake had previously expressed his admiration for the Paul brothers’ boxing prowess, a victory by D\u00edaz would have tripled his investment. Going into Saturday\u2019s match, D\u00edaz was an underdog, with sportsbooks giving him around +340 against Paul\u2019s -440.<\/p>\n
