Mattress Mack is going to sleep easy after the Houston Astros won the 2022 World Series.
Businessman Jim McIngvale earned himself the largest payout in U.S. sports betting history after he collected an estimated $75 million after the Astros topped the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 in Game 6 Saturday night.
McIngvale spread his bets across multiple sportsbooks, putting $3 million on the Astros to win the World Series at Caesars at 10/1 along with another million at WynnBet.
Later in the season he dropped $2 million at BetMGM at 5/1 with another $2 million at Barstool (+533). Finally, he spent $1 million each at Unibet and Betfred. No book will pay out more than Caesars, who takes a $30 million hit.

Caesers seemed more than fine to pay Mattress Mack his lofty prize—while taking the opportunity to advertise a few of their current offerings if he wants to double down.

Mack was quick to share his astronomical winnings with a very apt Tweet.

“Mattress Mack” is going to have more than enough cash to get season tickets for the Astros next spring as they mount a title defense (+700). We’re guessing he’s got plenty more bets in him to come.
Even if you’re not taking home quite what this Astros fan is, this bet also cleared after Saturday’s win. It’s easily one of the best $50 bets anyone has made on a sport this year.
