Sports betting is one of the hottest topics on the Internet and for good reason. With so many people stuck at home on their phones and navigating the virtual world some were bound to dabble in online betting. Other folks have taken other measure to betting, like going to Colorado to place a $3.5 million bet on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The same folk who were going to give away furniture purchases if said Bucs won the Super Bowl. We all know him as Mattress Mack from Gallery Furniture and he's been one of the most well known businessmen in Houston for quite some time. Now, the world wants to know HOW DOES HE DO IT?!

Well, thankfully he is not some habitual gambler who just feels lucky and places a cool guap on the line for the sake of excitement. Let's be real, if you get excited over winning $2.00 on a scratch off ticket you may need some sort of support to place a $3.5M bet on the Super Bowl.

And sure enough, Mack enlisted some experts. As you can see in the video, he uses lawyers, analysts and a mixture of negotiation and shopping for the best rate to get to his goal. Also, they explain beautifully how hedging a bet works and how Mack has masterfully promoted his business with too good to be true style promotions while also covering his behind.

Well done, Mattress Mack, well done.
