Argentina has already earned a trip to the 2024 Copa América finals after a thrilling 2-0 win over team Canada. Musician and member of the SBL Sports Betting Hall of Fame, Drake, lost a $300,000 bet on Canada.
We always advise against betting on a team you root for, but Drake took the bait and paid for it. Team Argentina couldn’t help but respond via social media.

Tonight at 8:00 PM, Columbia and Uruguay will face off in the semifinals for a chance to play Argentina for the championship.
The finals were already expected to draw in massive television and streaming audiences across the globe, but the inclusion of Argentina will intrigue USA-based audiences as well due to Lionel Messi being a part of the action.
Messi has taken a break from MLS to represent his country, and he’s one win away from helping his team win the championship.
Legal online soccer betting sites have created game lines for tonight’s semifinals, and Columbia is a slight favorite.
Uruguay vs. Colombia Betting Line
- Draw: +180
- Spread: Pick ’em
- Moneyline: Uruguay +175, Columbia +200
- Over/Under: 2.0
Since the knockout stage is single-elimination, a draw is not possible. Uruguay or Columbia must win and move on, so a bet on a draw will only pay out if the game is tied at the end of regulation.
There is no goal spread offered on the semifinals, but gamblers will be much better off laying their action on the moneyline odds to win if you can pick the correct team.
For instance, if you bet on the spread for Uruguay to win, you’ll only earn even money if you are correct – or less if juice is taken out and given to the house. Players that bet on Uruguay’s moneyline can potentially net $1.75 for each $1 wagered.
Even though only three teams remain in the knockout stage, soccer futures will be sustained online until tonight’s game is over. Futures become obsolete when only two options are left because the same wager can be made by betting on each team’s moneyline odds to win in the finals game line.
2024 Copa América Futures
- Argentina -170
- Uruguay +325
- Colombia +350
These odds to win Copa América imply two outcomes – that Uruguay will narrowly win tonight and that Argentina will outmatch either team, regardless of who makes it to the finals.
We guarantee that the winner’s odds will sink much closer to zero once there are only two teams, so anyone who thinks Columbia or Uruguay will win Copa América should pony up now. Also, there is a good chance that Argentina’s odds to win fall further into the negative.
Copa América Prop Bets
Most betting lines around the web suggest there will not be many goals scored in the semis, but some serious cash is on the line for anyone who can correctly select the player that puts it in the back of the net at least once.
Anytime Goalscorer
- Darwin Nunez +200
- Luis Diaz +250
- Jhon Cordoba +300
Only three players have been given a reasonable probability of scoring. Given tonight’s match line, these goals could come during extra time.
