Mattress Mack Has Lost The Last Few Bets: How Can He Break This Cycle?

Mattress Mack has placed yet another significant wager on a local club. Jim McIngvale, a businessman from Houston, staked $1 million on the Houston Cougars to win the men’s NCAA tournament, Caesars Sportsbook said on Wednesday.

Mattress Mack Has Lost The Last Few Bets: How Can He Break This Cycle?

The owner of a well-known mattress and furniture shop, McIngvale, picked the Cougars at +750, which means that if Houston wins the NCAA tournament, he will win $7.5 million.

At BetMGM, the Cougars are the third-best favorite to win the NCAA tournament. UConn, the defending national champion, is the favorite at +500, but Purdue leads Houston by a little margin at +700.

The only three teams with odds greater than 10-1 are those three. At +1000, Arizona is the fourth-best favorite.

He is renowned for placing millions of dollars on winning single bets, such as the $75 million wager on the Houston Astros to win the World Series in 2022, which proved to be the largest sports wager in history.

At the moment, McIngvale is betting $1 million on the Houston Cougars to win the NCAA Tournament in 2024.

He might use these enormous wagers as a marketing tool, offering his clients a complete return in the event that the wager is successful if they spend more than $4,000 on a mattress.

If the Cougars win the tournament, McIngvale’s $1 million wager will have made a profit of $7.5 million, more than enough to pay for his free mattresses.

In an attempt to function as a hedge, Mack will probably increase his wager on the Houston Cougars if clients buy more merchandise than the wager covers.

Did Mattress Mack win the Super Bowl bet?

Before making a record-breaking $72.6 million on the Houston Astros to win the World Series, he lost $9.5 million betting on the Bengals to win the Super Bowl two years earlier.

Does Mattress Mack donate?

Mack Mattress generously donated to cancer research. McIngvale donated $500,000 to MD Anderson Cancer Center in 2016.

Has Mattress Mack ever lost a bet?

The second Texas club, the Rangers, won the Fall Classic in 2023, their first-ever title, therefore he missed out on the opportunity to win $43.4 million on that wager. Mattress Mack additionally lost a $1 million wager on the University of Texas Longhorns to win the NCAA national championship, which was obviously not the case either.
