Jim 'Mattress Mack' McIngvale of Houston has wagered a total of $10 million with numerous sportsbooks on an Astros victory.
— A prolific Texas gambler with a knack for attention-getting bets stands to win nearly $75 million if the Houston Astros win the World Series, including what sportsbooks say would be the largest payout on a single legal sports bet in U.S. history.
"I have no fear in me," McIngvale said Tuesday, while giving away mattresses in Atlantic City to military personnel, veterans and first responders at Harrah's casino."I have a high tolerance for risk. If I lose, there's always another day." Even if the Philadelphia Phillies prevail, McIngvale figures he'll still come out $500,000 to $1 million ahead after paying out customer refunds.
