"Mattress Mack" could win $75 million if Astros win World Series

A Texas furniture store owner could win the largest sports bet payout ever depending on who wins the 2022 World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Houston Astros. 

Jim McIngvale, also known as "Mattress Mack," told ESPN he put $10 million on the Astros, splitting the bet across different platforms, including $1 million with WynnBET and $3 million with Caesars Sportsbook. The Astros' odds of winning are roughly +750 across the sports betting apps, meaning that if McIngvale is right, he would win a combined $75 million.

Sports betting analytics firm Action Network confirmed this week that $75 million would be the largest ever payout.
