Mattress Mack to receive record sports betting $75 million payout if Astros win World Series

Jim 'Mattress Mack' McIngvale is one step closer to record $75 million sports betting payout for an Astros World Series win. He placed $10 million in bets on the baseball team he loves to win the World series. Houston's 8-7 victory over Seattle in Game 1 of the ALDS is a step towards his dream.

Jim McIngvale is a notorious gambler who owns Gallery Furniture in Houston, Texas. He is offering customers a chance to double their purchases if the Houston Astros win the Commissioner's Trophy. The average payout is 7.50-to-1. He has an estimated net worth of $300m. In April, he bet on Kansas winning the NCAA Division I basketball tournament and cashed in on $15m, which is legal in Texas, but not in his state. His business offers free furniture to customers who bet with him. It's also possible that he will enter the sports betting record books.
