Jim 'Mattress Mack' McIngvale has $10 million riding on the Astros in the Fall Classic.
Favorited at -185 odds, the Astros are only four games away from earning the franchise’s second World Series title. It would no doubt be a monumental moment for the team—and McIngvale, too. If the Astros lose, don’t worry: Mattress Mack will still make plenty.
The Houston-based salesman is the owner of Gallery Furniture, a chain he uses to generate revenue for his bets. McIngvale is famous for hedging his seven-figure wagers with outrageous in-store promotions—along the lines of, “if you spend $3,000 or more on a mattress, your purchase is free.” Well, if the Astros win, that is.
