Houston's Jim 'Mattress Mack' ties the bets to promotions for customers who buy mattresses from him, offering them money back now that the Astros won.
Mattress Mack wins largest payout ever on single legal sports bet after the Astros won the World Series.A prolific Texas gambler with a knack for attention-getting bets won nearly $75 million after the Houston Astros won the World Series, including what sportsbooks say would be the largest payout on a single legal sports bet in U.S. history.
His bets include a $3 million wager made back in May with Caesars Sportsbook at 10-to-1 odds. It pays him $30 million, which Brad Harwood, a spokesperson for the sportsbook, said is the largest payout on a single legal sports bet in U.S. history. Mack has a long history of large bets on the World Series, Super Bowl and NCAA Final Four tournament. He links the bets to try to cover the cost of promotions at his mattress store in Houston; Now that the Astros won this year, customers who bought high-end mattresses will get their money back.
He figures he's up "probably a couple million net" in the six or so years he has been making large bets on sports championships.
