Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale won approximately $75 million on a series of bets on the Astros to win the World Series. He placed the first bet on May 13 in the parking lot of a Louisiana restaurant. His confidence rose and he bet $7 million more over the summer. The payout will help him pay off one of the most generous deals in his furniture business.
