World's biggest punter Mattress Mack set for 'record payout' of $75 million if his team wins World Series

Jim McIngvale, 71, placed a $10m bet on his team to win the baseball World Series. The Houston Astros are the favourites to beat the Philadelphia Phillies. Sports betting is illegal in Texas, so he travels to Las Vegas or Louisiana to place his bets. He is famous for placing huge bets on sports events and major horse races. If the Astros win, it will be the biggest single sports betting payout of all time. Houston is hosting game one of the World series on Friday. It will take place in front of 45,000 spectators. Mattress Mack works behind the front desk at his Houston mattress store.
