The Seattle Seahawks’ victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX marked a new chapter in the so-called “Drake curse” tale.
Drake has leaned into the talk and long running jokes about his betting habits by openly sharing his sports bets on social media. The narrative centers around the idea that teams he supports are somehow destined to lose.
On Saturday, Drake, who has a business partnership with Stake — an online sportsbook — took to social media to say he was picking the Patriots to win the Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California.

“Bet against me if you dare,” he captioned an Instagram post showing a screenshot of a $1 million bet on New England to win. Had the Patriots pulled out of the rebellion, Drake stood to collect an estimated $2.95 million payout.
SEAHAWKS WIN SUPER BOWL LX AFTER DOMINANT DEFENSIVE PERFORMANCE AGAINST PATRIOTS
But the odds ultimately weren’t in the “Thank Me Later” rapper’s favor. The Seahawks defense dominated the Patriots to secure a 29-13 victory, giving Seattle its second Vince Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.
A website, thedrakecurse.com, tracks the “One Dance” singer’s betting activity. According to the site, Drake has placed 12 bets related to the Super Bowl since 2022, compiling a 4-8 win-loss record.
To Drake’s credit, he was successful with his prediction that the Kansas City Chiefs would knock off the San Francisco 49ers two years ago in the Super Bowl.
