Mattress Mack is laughing all the way to the bank.

The Astros superfan, whose real name is Jim McIngvale, raked in $75 million USD ($117m AUD) in winning bets after Houston won the 2022 World Series on Saturday, defeating the Phillies in Game 6. According to multiple reports, the $75 million USD is believed to be the largest payout in sports betting history after he placed $10 million USD in bets across several sportsbooks. Mattress Mack, the 71-year-old who owns the Gallery Furniture chain, initially placed a $3 million USD bet on the Astros to win the World Series with Caesars Sportsbook. “What can we say? We just wrote the biggest check in sports betting history to Mattress Mack for $30,000,000,” Caesars Digital COO Ken Fuchs said Saturday night, according to ESPN. ‘Want to vomit’: America’s most hated team wins World Series for first time after cheating scandal A chunk of Mattress Mack’s winnings will go toward paying customers on a promotion he ran at his furniture store, which gives customers refunds of double what they paid if they spent at least $3,000. He is known for running massive promotions at his furniture stores that gives customers their purchases for free, and then some, if local teams win championships. He then hedges those promotions with big bets on said teams. Thus, while Mack would prefer the Astros win the World Series, and he wins his bets, he makes off well financially even if the Phillies emerge victorious. “Oh, it’s definitely a win-win,” McIngvale told ESPN last week. “These promotions just bring the brand to life and give us a ton of brand equity that we wouldn’t have otherwise.” Watch The Biggest Sports from The US with ESPN on Kayo.

Things were looking bleak for Mattress Mack after the Phillies won Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead. Mack was in Philadelphia for the games and got into an expletive-filled argument with Phillies fans after that loss. “F – k you!” Mattress Mack could be seen yelling at a group of Phillies fans, who presumably were heckling him before filming of the viral video began. “F – k you, you asshole! F – k you!” Mattress Mack, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch in Houston before Saturday’s game, released a long statement on Twitter after the Astros’ World Series win which said, in part, “I love y’all. I love this city. I would do anything for this city, and I would do anything for you.” This story originally appeared on the NY Post and is reproduced with permission.

Is sports betting rigged?

No, sports betting is not rigged, but it is against your favor because of the vig. In order to make money, sports betting companies collect a commission on losing bets, which is called the vig. Because of that, it may seem like sports betting is rigged, but that's simply to insure it's a source of revenue. If sports betting didn't make a profit, there would be no reason to legalize it across the country. For sports betting to exist, companies have to make money off it, which is why PASPA was struck down in 2018. While Nevada has been raking in millions of dollars through sports betting, new legislation will allow each start to benefit from sports gambling. If states are benefitting from sports betting, that means those wagering are losing money more often than not. If you're losing because you think "sports betting is rigged" and can't get out of the game, there are resources to help. There are online guides, readily available access to addiction centers and a National Problem Gambling Helpline.
