And now he's close to hitting another jackpot.

quote:

Sports fan Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale has put his money -- big money -- where his mouth is. His allegiance to Texas-based teams, particularly the Houston Astros, has both paid off and lost him millions of dollars in bets over the years.

The Houston-area furniture store owner won $75 million gambling correctly that the Astros would capture the 2022 World Series. Now he's due to collect potentially $43.4 million betting that the Astros repeat as champions, according to multiple reports.

McIngvale, 72, wagered $6.9 million on the Astros before the start of the postseason.
