Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale has become a fixture as Houston Astros games not only for his love of the Astros, but for the ridiculous bets he places on them to win.

With the Astros victory over the Phillies in the World Series this past weekend, Mattress Mack became the biggest winner in sports gambling history after taking home $75 million!


Per Bleacher Report, Mattress Mack placed $10 million in bets across multiple sportsbooks on the Astros to win the World Series.

Reportedly, he placed a $3 million bet at Caesars, $1 million at WynnBet, $2 million at BetMGM, $2 million at Barstool, $1 million at Unibet, and $1 million at Betfred.

Mack will likely not keep most of the winnings, though.

Mack offered Gallery Furniture customers who spent $3,000 on some sleep sets or power motion furniture at his store their money back if the Astros won the World Series.

And before the Astros won the ALCS, he was offering customers double their money back, so the winnings will "mostly be paid out to customers through our promotion," Mack told Fox 26 after the game.
