Mattress Mack Wins $75 Million, Biggest Win in Sports Betting History

The Houston Astros have made “Mattress Mack” the biggest winner in sports gambling history.
Houston mattress and furniture magnate Jim McIngvale won $75 million when the Astros won the World Series on Saturday night, beating the Philadelphia Phillies in six games
The money doesn’t exactly go into McIngvale’s pockets, it goes to his customers. As he has done in previous seasons, he used betting markets to insure his “If the Astros win, you win” promotion.
Now that the Astros have won it all, anyone who spent $3,000 or more can come back and get a refund for their purchases while keeping the items they bought.
McIngvale, who threw out the first pitch before Saturday’s game, bet a total of $10 million.
Early in the season, he bet $3 million on the Astros to win the World Series at Caesars at 10/1 and also plunked down $1 million at WynnBet.
In July, he wagered $2 million at BetMGM at 5/1, $2 million at Barstool at 5.3/1 (+533) and $1 million each at Unibet and Betfred, also at 5/1.
Caesars takes the biggest hit from Mack’s win, paying out $30 million.
“What can we say? We just wrote the biggest check in sports betting history to Mattress Mack for $30,000,000. Would we do it all again? You bet,” Ken Fuchs, the COO of Caesars Digital, said.

This series turned on a dime when the Philly fans fricked with Mack. I knew once the old man got pissed it was over.

Matress Mack is a fraud and a shitty person. But he's an Astros fan so it checks.
