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.

Did Eddie Hearn get his million?

Eddie Hearn and Jake Paul were not able to go through with their $1 million bet on Katie Taylor vs.

dazn.com - Eddie Hearn and Jake Paul cancel $1 million bet for Katie Taylor vs ...

Eddie Hearn and Jake Paul were not able to go through with their $1 million bet on Katie Taylor vs. Amanada Serrano after being told that it is illegal to place wagers on their own fights. Hearn represents Taylor and Serrano is signed to Paul’s MVP promotional outfit. The promoters had bet one another that their own fighter would emerge triumph on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden as Taylor defended her undisputed lightweight status. Ultimately, it was Hearn who would have won the bet as Taylor was ruled the winner by split decision, a result that Paul and others have disputed - and one that tees up a potential rematch in Ireland later this year. Speaking on the DAZN Boxing Show on Saturday night, Hearn explained that the bet had been cancelled and a new forfeit was in play. “Unfortunately we kind of got our collar felt a little bit in the respect of – promoters can’t bet on their own fight and that’s not a great look," Hearn said. “So myself and Jake have been coming up with an alternative which is gonna make you laugh a lot. I’ll give you the details maybe later before the fight. It probably involves me getting knocked out, but that’s only if Katie loses. If not, it’s gonna involve Jake Paul getting knocked out. “It’s gonna be for charity. All the details are gonna be [revealed]. We had a conversation after and got told, ‘Legally you can’t really bet on the fight as a promoter.’

“And we were like, ‘Okay.’"
