The Astros are back in the playoffs, which means Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, who owns Gallery Furniture in the Houston area, is placing massive bets on them to win it all. He told Bleacher Report’s Greg Ivory that he has $10 million in bets on the Houston Astros to win the 2022 World Series.

If the Astros end up winning the World Series, McIngvale would earn an estimated $75 million payout, which would be the largest in sports betting history.

Much like in the past, McIngvale’s Gallery Furniture customers would also be enjoying the benefits of the Astros winning it all. Gallery Furniture has previously held promotions in which customers that spend a certain amount of money would get their furniture free of charge if a specific team wins a championship.
