The Super Bowl always brings big moments, both on the field and off it. In Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
The game drew huge attention, but rapper Drake also made headlines with his betting choices. Days after losing one million dollars on a Super Bowl wager, he turned thirty thousand dollars into seven million dollars playing roulette.

Drake placed a $1 million bet on the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl through the platform Stake. He shared the wager on Instagram on February 7, writing, “Bet against me if you dare.” If the Patriots had won, he would have stood to gain about 2.9 million dollars in total payout.

The Seahawks took control early and went on to win, leaving Drake with a $1 million loss. This adds to the idea of the “Drake curse,” which suggests that teams he supports often fail in big games.
A few days later, on February 11, Drake shared a video of himself playing roulette on Stake with his friend BenDaDonnn. He started with a $30,000 bet and, after a series of high-stakes spins, won $7 million and cashed out.
In the video, people showed excitement as they placed large bets, with some spins reaching about $260,000. He wrote, “I’m off sports betting…sticking to what I know,” indicating he will stop betting on sports after being disappointed by the Super Bowl.
Drake’s journey from losing in Super Bowl bet to gaining in the casino
Drake has partnered with Stake for years, often sharing big bets in his content. His tracked public wagers show mixed results, with more losses than wins overall, though some NFL bets have brought profit in the past.
The Super Bowl loss fit a pattern of high-profile misses, but the quick roulette turnaround showed a different side of his gambling style. With a net worth of around $400 million, such swings remain part of his high-risk approach.
For NFL followers who enjoy following celebrity ties to the league, this story highlights how the Super Bowl extends beyond the game. Drake’s experience reminds everyone that betting comes with real ups and downs, whether on football outcomes or at the casino.
As the league prepares for the next season, his shift to roulette could signal a new approach to chance and risk.
