Drake Puts $300,000 on Jannik Sinner to Win the US Open

The wager underscores how the rapper’s public picks intensify superstition around a so‑called curse versus what betting markets actually signal.

Overview

  • Drake posted an Instagram screenshot showing a $300,000 futures bet on Sinner to take the US Open title, which would pay $507,000 if it hits.
  • World No. 1 Sinner has advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating Alexander Bublik and is next scheduled to face compatriot Lorenzo Musetti.
  • BetMGM lists Sinner as the tournament favorite slightly ahead of Carlos Alcaraz, reflecting market confidence in the Italian’s form.
  • Drake’s tennis bets have swung both ways, including a $210,000 loss backing Taylor Fritz against Sinner at the 2024 US Open and a profitable win on Sinner at the 2025 Australian Open.
  • A tracking site reports Drake has made over 80 public sports bets totaling $35.2 million staked with $36.17 million returned, estimating a win rate near 37.5%.
