“Mattress Mack” Is Back With A $3.46 Million Super Bowl Bet
The one and only “Mattress Mack” is making headlines once again with a massive bet on the outcome of this weekend’s Super Bowl.
The Houston furniture store owner named Jim McIngval bet $3.46 million that the Buccaneers would either win the game or lose to the Chiefs by less than three points. He’ll win $2.72 million if the bet pays off.
McIngvale routinely uses the betting market to mitigate risk on sales promotions at his furniture store. He had more than $11 million in play on the 2019 World Series between the between the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals, including a $3.5 million futures bet on the Astros that he placed with DraftKings in Biloxi, Mississippi.
