Houston's 'Mattress Mack' bet big on the Astros and could win almost $39 million if they take World Series
Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale is a huge fan of Houston Astros and a betting enthusiast. He bet $3.35 million in June that the team would win the World Series. Caesars Sportsbook is offering a $22 million payout if the Astros win. McIngvale's stores sold 5,000 qualifying mattresses during the promotion. The Astros lost the first game of the series to the Atlanta Braves. The second game is on Wednesday night. They are playing for the best of seven series. It will be played at 7 pm ET. The company says it would be the largest reported payout in US sports betting history.
