Mattress Mack knows how to draw attention.
Other sportsbooks had more pragmatic ways of executing the payouts — McIngvale posed at Caesar’s with a gigantic check for $30 million.
It should be noted that this lark was not all profit for Mack. He made these bets to hedge a promotion at his furniture store where customers would be refunded up to twice their money back if the Astros won the World Series. With McIngvale getting so much notoriety as a gambler of late, stories have also started to emerge about his altruism.
A Houston-area man named Carlos Hardy told Fox 26 that McIngvale gifted his family furniture when he was 10 years old, and it was then that he resolved to become a customer of Gallery Furniture when he could afford it one day.. “Oh, I knew instantly as a kid. I knew I had to come back and return the favor to him.”
