Drake lost $400,000 bets on Jake Paul in February, and this time he’s loyal to Nate Diaz ahead of his boxing match against the ex-YouTuber in Dallas.
The rapper, who has become infamous for his high-stakes sports betting, shared a bet slip on his Instagram story that revealed he risked $250,000 to win $1 million on Diaz beating Paul.
“Jake is a dog but I can never bet against a Diaz brother, that’s how I was raised,” he captioned the photo.
The Canadian charts predicted that Paul would beat Tommy Paul in the winter, but turned out to be wrong.
Paul apologized after that fight for costing Drake a hefty sum, but jokingly blamed the rapper for his loss in the ring.

Drake has become infamous for his high-risk sports betting, which he makes public to fans
“F***, this is Drake’s fault,” he said said on February 26.
“$400,000 isn’t for him. He’s won a lot more money betting on me before, so he’s probably even now.”
Drake managed to win $1.38 million in April when Gervonta Davis beat Ryan Garcia with a seventh-round knockout.
The “Search & Rescue” artist risked $1 million with that choice.
However, he also “only” lost $45,000 in total on three separate bets that (incorrectly) predicted which round Davis would win.
Prior to their fight on Saturday, Paul and Diaz exchanged verbal jabs during Friday’s weigh-in.

“However the fight goes, remember this son of a bitch can’t really fight,” Diaz said.
Paul was reacting to his own barbs.
‘Tomorrow I’m walking with that bastard! I’ll put him on a leash and I’ll send him back to the cage!’, he said.
Paul is 6-1 in his boxing career after losing to Fury in February.
Diaz, a UFC legend, will make his pro boxing debut in combat.
