Mack is back, back again.
Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale once again traveled across state lines to Louisiana to place a massive sports bet Thursday, this time for $2 million on the Dallas Cowboys to beat the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday’s NFL playoff game.
The bets — actually two separate $1 million bets on the Cowboys money line at +165 and +170 — were made at the recently opened Caesars Sportsbook at the Horseshoe Casino in Lake Charles.
Mack, the Houston businessman known for his Gallery Furniture stores and his massive sports wagers, stands to profit $3.35 million if the Cowboys can pull off the outright upset. They’re 4-point underdogs against the 49ers in the game that kicks off at 5:30 p.m. Sunday.
