He turned a $10 million wager on the Astros to win the World Series into a $75 million record payout.

Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale flew to Biloxi Tuesday to see if he can repeat a big payout, this time with a bet on Houston to win the NCAA Championship.

Wearing a World Series hoodie and orange Houston cap, McIngvale arrived at the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino in Biloxi shortly after 6 p.m. He paused for pictures, interviews and a hug from a fan as he made his way from the front door to the BetMGM Sportsbook at the back of the casino.
