Drake Bets $1.5M on Lionel Messi, Argentina to Beat Spain in 2026 World Cup Final

Drake has bet $1.5 million on Argentina to defeat Spain in 90 minutes (plus stoppage time) at the FIFA World Cup Final on Sunday.

"What's that saying??? Better luck next time…say less," Drake posted on Instagram.

Drake bet Argentina to win in regulation. If he wins, Drake will earn a $3,675,000 profit for a total payout of $5,175,000.

Drake is no stranger to making massive sports bets. Per TheDrakeCurse.com, he has wagered $38.72 million on 87 sports bets, winning 32 of them and returning $37.17 million ($1.55 million loss). Winning this bet would obviously put Drake back in the green ($2.1 million), or he can essentially double his losses.

As for the match itself, it's a clash of titans as Spain, the defending Euro 2024 champions, takes on Argentina, the defending World Cup champions. Lionel Messi, of course, is the big name to watch as the legend enters the match with eight goals in this tournament.
