rolled over the Houston Astros 11-4 in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series, advancing to the World Series. In so doing, the Rangers squelched at least $7.9 million in Mattress Mack World Series wagers on the Astros.Home is Where the Hurt Is
Surprisingly, all four of the Astros’ losses in the ALCS came on their home field. After Houston dropped Games 1 and 2, McIngvale took one last gamble, putting $1 million on Astros +750 to win the World Series, at FanDuel Sportsbook. That upped the total of his known bets – he may have had more, including on the ALCS – to $7.9 million. Previously, he had three World Series bets with Caesars Sports and one with DraftKings Sportsbook:Add up all five bets, and there was a potential win of $50.9 million for a total payout of $58.8 million. Mack’s final bet looked pretty good when the Astros won Games 3, 4 and 5 to take a 3-2 series lead and move within a game of the World Series.
With Houston now out, Mack lost all his bets, but his store retains all the money on the mattress purchases. "The promotion was hedged almost perfectly," he said."You do the best you can and move on to the next one.""Absolutely. Seven years in a row is no fluke. They’ll be back next year, bigger and better than ever," he said."Sometimes you get rained out, and you don’t look back."Patrick Everson is a sports betting analyst for FOX Sports and senior reporter for VegasInsider.com.
