As of my last update in early 2023, Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, the owner of Gallery Furniture and a well-known sports bettor, made a significant bet on the Houston Astros during their 2022 World Series run. He reportedly placed a $7.5 million bet on the Astros to win the World Series at +1000 odds, which would have paid out $75 million if the Astros had won the championship.
However, the Astros did not win the World Series in 2022, so this particular bet did not pay out. It’s important to note that the amounts and details of such bets can vary, and Mattress Mack is known for making large wagers on sports, particularly when it comes to the Astros. For the most current information on any bets he may have made, you would need to check the latest reports or statements from Jim McIngvale himself or his betting accounts.
