Who's rooting hardest against Astros? Sportsbooks who took Mattress Mack's multimillion dollar bets.
Jim McIngvale,"Mattress Mac," walks out to throw the first pitch during a game between the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers on Friday, July 23, 2021, at Minute Maid Park in Houston.. If McIngvale wins, Houston wins. Besides a big check for McIngvale, it also will mean the Astros beat the Phillies in the World Series and everyone who bought at least $3,000 worth of mattresses and bed sets from Mack's Gallery Furniture store will get double their money back.
"It's a pretty big bet, but we're obviously Caesars and risk is what we do," Fuchs said."We're very used to risk. For a sports bet, it is a big one, no doubt. We'll see what happens, but we'll be getting the combination to the vault ready in case he wins."
